ID Help - Popover Pan

[EricC]

Hello - I'm trying to help a friend again and would like confirmation or correction on my ID; I'm not strong on these.

Is this an unmarked Wagner popover pan made using a Griswold pattern?

It looks pretty close to another one that was ID'd here as such but the casting looks a little rougher to me and there's another minor difference or two from the other one.

Thanks for the help!

Looks about the same as mine. The pictures of mine were taken after cleaning and fresh seasoning.

The ridge between the finger holes and on the ends is more distinct than on the Griswold pattern unmarked Wagner.

I see what you mean. Would that lead you to believe it is some sort of no-name copy or import?

 

[Doug D.]

Hard to say. The multiple letters and numbers inscribed imply a reasonably sized operation tracking production and quality control. First instinct might be to guess late 1950s Lodge, perhaps, but their catalogs show an open frame design popover pan with finger holes more like the Griswold #10/948 muffin pan.

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I'll pass that along.

I cleaned up one of these for an elderly (88) neighbor lady. As mentioned, it looks like the dual logo pan in RB p84 and BB p261 except that there are no logos and no Made in USA. Would it be safe to guess made between 1957 and 1964 when Made in USA was added? My neighbor thinks it's older than 1972. There is an "A" incised in one middle row/column cup bottom. No other markings. There is some minor pitting but it appears to be a user now.

Griswold references BB p107 and RB p163

Thread 'ID Help - Popover Pan & Corn Stick Pan'

May 1, 2020

Hello, I'm trying to help a friend ID a couple of pieces he just acquired. I might know what they are but I certainly don't specialize in pieces like this and I'm hoping one of you more knowledgeable on these can confirm or correct my guesses or otherwise provide more info on them.

Both pieces lack brand markings and both have "Made in USA" markings. I believe the popover pan is a Griswold and the corn stick pan is a Wagner, and that they lack brand markings because they were from the economy lines produced for various stores. And then I believe the "Made in USA" markings date them...
