9 pieces into the lye tank. Most are common pieces, but the Gem Pan on the lower right corner Waterman Boston. I picked up a copy of this same Waterman not to long ago. I will take a photo of them both when seasoned.

The piece that has me going round in circles in the pot with the lid on the lower left corner, any takers??

Jeffrey, Is the pot with lid the top and bottom of a combo cooker? A John Johnson? RickC has one but so do I.

No, I do not think it is a combo cooker. The lid has 2 notches that match the base. I will take photos after it is clean. I am hoping that it is not foreign made.

I am pretty sure the skillet also has the notches. I will have to check when I get home. LOL. I am supposed to be working.

Is this what you are thinking about?

That was the one I was thinking of. The bottom piece you have looks similar. Here is a post about one that has the pointy spouts. I am sure I have seen one somewhere that had the notches.

Mine doesn't look anything like that, and no notches.

The handles on that pot somehow remind me of some much newer pieces I've seen, but I don't think anyone has been making pots like that for a long while. Plus that one shows some age. When I first saw the photo I thought maybe some weird old Dansk lid. They're the ones that have that cross type handle on top.

Cleaned and seasoned. You can see the notches on the base that the lid sits in.
