A present from an old friend
« on: March 15, 2020, 04:18:02 PM »
One of my oldest friends, former employer and business partner recently presented me with a long deep pan that he used to make etouffe.  I needs a bit of care and restoration but should be an excellent multi-purpose pan.  Any clue as to maker and approximate age. The only mark I can find is "1" beside one of the tabs.

I've got one sitting on my Sportsman Grill. Hard to date as BSR would use the same pic over and over even though changes had been made.

Look at the inside of this label,

Lee, didn't even notice that you posted that. Glad to see I'm not the only one that has those "moments"!

Red-faced me.  I thought it might be BSR, but had not really looked at the label on my latest treasure.   Again, thank you.
