Besides the American made CI, I also have some English that was brought here by my great grandmother. My cousins and I divvied up the "old junk" that no one wanted after my grandparents died.
Nobody wanted these. 
(There are examples seen in the Downton Abbey kitchen.)

The big one is a 6-quart saucepan.





And this is the Griswold chicken fryer I have been using for about fifty years, inherited from my grandmother.

There is this "mystery" skillet, which is rather cruddy - I've used it a lot for baking bread at high temps in my barbecue - after cracking a LeCreuset pot - so it has been exposed to high temps and not been treated all that well, occasionally knocking off some of the burnt-on stuff with the wire grill brush.  I've tried to chisel off some of the burnt on polymerized gunk, but it is not easy. (oven cleaner had little effect)
I bought it when a local sporting goods/gun store that carried some "camp cooking" utensils went out of business some time in the '90s (I think).
It's hefty - weighs more than similar sized skillets.  I haven't been able to figure out who made it. It says "American Cookware" and made in the USA  and it isn't old - it was new when I bought it but the store had been in business since 1940 but I don't think it had been on the shelf that long...

I would like to know something about it, I don't care if it is worth anything, I'm just curious.

This pot is marked on the bottom "ERIE"  and it has a rim around the outer circumference (aka heat ring).

I've used it for rendering fats - my grandma's cook used it only to render beef kidney suet - for preparing the English cakes my great grandmother loved.

If there is another mark on this, I have not been able to find it.

14-inch side-handled round export ware griddle.  I had this posted on the old forum, somewhere, too.  Catalogue 40 lists five sizes, with this being the middle one.
