Unmarked No.8 skillet looks like BSR ...but
« on: July 27, 2017, 02:56:52 PM »
Picked up a nice no.8 skillet today, when I first looked at it I thought BSR then when I looked closer at the underside of the handle and specifically where the handle meets the skillet it has a small flat triangular spot unlike the BSR's I have seen where the ridge on the handle goes right up to the skillet body.

Any opinions welcomed

It is BSR...

There have been several BSR/ASW with original labels that have surfaced with the slight and sometimes pronounced triangle like pad at the side wall.

Probably a pattern anomaly... (slight dent from being placed in a storage rack, etc. )

I would say Late Red Mountain, with the narrower pour spouts, and that type face and numbers and letters pattern....
