Anybody know anything about this one?

My Google-fu failed me on this logo. Anybody know anything about it?

 

[Bonnie Scott]

Maybe Chicago hardware or Favorite Piqua. I have one like it but I can't remember for sure.

I'm not seeing any characteristics of the physical pan itself that leads me towards either of those.

Thanks for looking. I picked this one up as a practice piece to learn how to strip and clean before doing a #10 wagner and a #8 bottom gate. It was extremely rusty and crusty ( I couldn't see any markings due to the 1/8" of burnt on crud). I figured if I screwed it up, no harm no foul. Now I'm curious who used the T in diamond mark.

The bottom looks like the casting is fairly rough? What's the inside like? Looks heavy 2. Maybe foreign

This one was abused. I bought it for an experiment. The sides are pretty much like a current as cast Lodge, same for weight. The bottom inside is a bit better, but has some dings and dents. It cooks ok, but I'll probably save it for a fish pan. I may also use it for some more cleaning experiments. I was just curious who used the T in diamond logo. Cheap chinese maybe? I just don't know.

No is not Chinese, T stands for Taiwan, top of the lineTaiwan's diamond:icon_rofl:

 

[ShawnE]

Taiwan is part of the R.O.C. Perhaps the T in diamond is of a better quality than the C in diamond. :mrgreen:

 

[Doug D.]

Does not look imported to me. Unless possibly Canadian.

 

[ShawnE]

So, I guess nobody knows and haven't seen the T in diamond mark. Oh well, not like this is a quality piece. Thanks all for looking.

I would take a burp from Doug over my best ideas when it comes to cast iron.
