Hello Everybody!
As I sit and stare out my window during this February blizzard... I contemplate this recent CI pickup. I looked through my BB and it looks similar to a Danish Cake Pan- but I've never see or heard of these before- but for what they were charging, I was willing to take a risk.

The item seems to be a fairly nice casting but am having trouble identifying maker; the only mark that I can find is a letter "I" or "1" in the center of the handle.

Any guesses?

Thanks!

Danish cake pan or egg poacher is what the BB calls them. Everyone else calls them an aebleskiver pan. I think, but am not certain, that yours is an Asian import of fairly new vintage.
 
Hi KevinE:
Thanks for the follow up, I really appreciate it.

My initial consideration was that the pan was pre-1960 as it didn't contain any sort of "Made In xxxx", which would signify that it was an import/ domestic-- would this be correct?

Thanks,

I am not certain when the country of origin markings stopped. For instance, I know all of the Martha Stewart stuff, Paula Deen stuff, Emeril stuff, etc. is made in south east Asia, but you won't find Made in China/Taiwan/Korea on it. Seems like somewhere on here either on the forum or the website there was a very good discussion on country of origin laws, etc.
 
Thanks KevinE & JMoss!

I really appreciate the help! I hadn't even considered that it could have been some sort of removable label- good info to know!

Thanks,

That pan is also called an Aebleskiver pan/skillet. It's Scandinavian in origin (as you mentioned).

When I was in Los Angeles we took a trip up to a small town called Solvang. Solvang is a small Danish town outside of Lompok, California. Many of the Danish restaurants and local street venders sell this little (fritter or whatever you want to call it) called an aebleskiver. They're made in those pans which resemble egg poachers.
