Umarked Dbl SK Top ??

[Mike Bohannon]

I found a very carboned up double skillet top, I was hoping when I cleaned it some ID would show up but no such luck.  No markings at all. It doesn't have any pour spouts so goes with a deep skillet/chicken fryer? Very smooth polished castin. Also something I hadn't seen before no grinding on the edge where it was poured.  The only grinding is on the web under the handle.  Is this where the mold was poured?  Here's a pic of the bottom and the top in next post. Can anyone ID? Mike

Top of skillet.

Mike very nice looking pan, and a nice job with the cleaning, smooth as glass. No I can't ID that double sk. top for you. I am sure that someone will ID for you because of the handle. clark

Mike, that handle sure looks like Vollrath to me.

Looks like a Vollrath to me as well.

Vollrath.  Could be that if there were grinding marks around the outside of the pan that they were "removed" by the tumbling machine.  I don't think the piece was gated through the bottom of the handle but I guess it's possible.

Thanks All! Got the books out and the handle sure is consistant with Vollrath.  I didn't even know I was collecting Vollrath ;). Very very nicely cast and polished piece. Anyone know what  the bottom skillet/fryer looks like or have an extra for sale?  I can't even keep up with what I don't know now and gotta start looking something else I don't know anything about. :)  Gotta quit picking up these strays :).  Mike

Steve, I agree after looking a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time probably side gated but they sure did a great job of polishing out the grinding marks.  Mike

Mike, chances are that the bottom part is just a deep skillet or chicken fryer bottom.  I don't know that for sure though.

Way cool Mike.  I agree the handle screams Vollrath.  But I wonder what it fits on.  The Vollrath skillets, deep skillets and chicken fryers I've seen all have pour spouts and your top doesn't.  What's the diameter?

[Mike Bohannon]

Sandy to the best of my knowledge this is the only piece of Vollrath I have so don't have a clue.  The very outside diameter is 10 1/4 in.  The OD of the lip which would fit inside of a bottom skillet is 9 11/16+, so ID of the bottom  piece would have to be 9 3/4 to set inside.  Hope I explained this to where you understand if not just ask again.  Mike

OPPs!!  Had to edit the measurements.  Sorry, Mike
