Unmarked #5 something?

It has a 5 inside a diamond.  Heat ring on the outside with a smooth inside.

Hi Nathan, unconfirmed but due to resemblance to the diamond logo Miami skillet line, these are thought to be made by Favorite, not positively identified as such though.
The good chefs never burn anything--we call it "culinary brown"!!

Someone told me possibly Chicago Hardware Foundry, is that aka Favorite?  Is there a relationship between the two?

There is currently an extensive discussion going on up on the WAGS Discussion board regarding these Diamond marked pans.
There is a relationship between Favorite, and CHF, in that when Favorite went out of business, CHF acquired certain assets of Favorite.
