Friends from South West Louisiana came to visit us in Lower Alabama and as good Cajuns do they brought their very large Cast Iron griddle to prepare dinner one night. They told us that they also had a cast iron fish fry pan and then later sent pictures of that pan. His father cooked with the two pieces as long as he can remember and now the next generation keeps the griddle on the stove for daily use. I have a small collection of cast iron and I thought that I could identify the manufacturer of these two early pieces, but I have not had any luck. My friend is now in his early 60’s so I know that these items date from the early forties at the latest or maybe this is the third generation? Any direction on identification would be greatly appreciated from you guys. Dimensions: Griddle 24+” x 12+” Pan:19” x 11” x 3”. The pan is often used as a lid over the griddle.

The fish frier kind of looks like one I had purchased that was from bass pro shop. I bought it because it was cheap as dirt but automatically sold it. To rough on inside. I know birmingham had one similar for their habachi sportsman grill. All just guesses.
