hammered #3

[JMoss]

I bought this little guy a few weeks back. It was so encrusted that the guy selling it didn't know it was hammered. It cleaned up very nicely. I believe it is CHF or Favorite but please correct me if I'm wrong. It was the first hammered #3 I've ever found.

I was trying to get some pictures that would show the hammered finish. Thats why some of these are pre-seasoning

Don't believe it is CHF or Favorite. I believe it is a "hammered ugly" and no one seems to know who made them.

I agree with the "hammered ugly" sentiment. I found a nice #3 a few months back that has got 99% of its Nickle finish in tact.

I don't recall ever seeing an example of the "hammered ugly unknown" plated before. Photo?

Think the reference (hammered ugly) came from a post originated by ChristianF dated 9/8/2015. I have a #3 & #8 with the same "large" hammered dimples which neither have any I.D.'s.

Well darn. I really like that little pan, very smooth cooking surface. I'm going to feel bad referring to it as "hammered ugly".

I'll send you mine Jack and then you can say you have "Twin Ugly's"

I have had a #3, #5, #8 Hammered ugly skillets. The #3 was the same as yours JMoss, but my #5 & #8 were heavier all around, and wider handles. Made me think that they were from different foundries.

Here is a Hammered CHF and plated.

I do not have a photo of the #3,5,8, set to post. Will look.

Plated may be the wrong word. I actually doesn't look "plated" but it isn't bare iron either. Thoughts?
