I don't have anything exactly like it.

I would guess that it is European.  Many Danish designs have that style of long, ventilated handle.  It would be interesting to see if there are any markings on the bottom.

Age.  My first bet would be post-WW1 to 1920's, but just a guess.

Your pan is Swedish, Kockums is an old Swedish Foundry.  No longer making cookware.  Kallinge is the town the foundry was located in.  Age?  I still would put it somewhere in the late 20th century teens or twenties.

It is a plett pan.  A small Scandinavian pancake.  Sometimes folks call them silver dollar pancakes.

Once you get her all cleaned up... here is a thread with a recipe for the Plett pan...... Swedish pancakes.

Although I intend to try making some mini buttermilk in mine... :)

I just got a Plett pan recently and had to try it out. I think the recipe I used was a larger version of the one posted as I was at it for quite awhile and had a huge stack of them when all was done. Stuck some in the freezer but they didn't stay in there for more than a couple of hours before we realized we were going to wind up eating all of them over the course of a couple of days, and there's just the 2 of us!

It was really tasty, and fun once I got the pan heated right- cranked 'em out!

Have fun with it!
