Number 10 Gate Mark Cast Iron Pan

[EmilyGraff]

Hello! I'd love some help identifying this pan.

It has no information about the manufacturer. There is a gate mark, a heat ring, and a raised number 10 on the handle.

I bought this at an antique store for $20.

The inside of the pan is smooth, though there are some scratches. The outside and bottom are very rough.

It's pretty dirty. I've washed and scrubbed it, and plan on using Easy-Off over the next few days.

Thanks so much for your thoughts!

Emily

Unfortunately, the description fits many such pans made by any one of hundreds of small foundries in the 1800s, most of which did not go the extra step to put their name on their products. A photo may help narrow down an approximate half of the century, but that will likely be about all.

Trying to upload, now! Thanks.

Handles and pour spouts of that style are more early to mid-19th century.
