Cornbread Wedge Pan

[Scott J.]

I found this a few years ago at a booth style antique/fleamarket. It looks like a BSR but doesn't have the pattern/part number shown in the unmarked section of this website. There is no center hole like current Lodge. Was this before Lodge got the pattern or maybe after but before they put the center thru hole?

Lodge didn't get BSR's pattern and add a hole, they made their own and added the hole in an apparent attempt to circumvent patent infringement (although BSR's "Patent Pending" was apparently just a scare tactic). Handle designs differ, with the BSR ridge being obvious on theirs. "6CBS" and "8CBS" were added later. Wagner also made one without a center hole, its handle being the typical Wagner "late" style.

So is it most likely a Lodge? It doesn't really matter to me, it made some nice cornbread and it's still quite a few years old.

 

[Doug D.]

No, a BSR.
