I’m Stumped… AnyThoughts?

[Chris.E]

I picked this piece up this morning and don’t have any clues as to what it might be and don’t see anything similar in the Red or Blue books. I haven’t put it in the tank yet but there appears to be no markings on either the cover or skillet. Overall it’s pretty clean with a smooth cooking surface and no pitting. No heat ring, no wobble. The lid has inverted drip points. Any thoughts? Thank You

Looks like a chicken fryer to me. Can't help with who made it.

A few things, the basting dimples included, point toward BSR. But there will be those quick to say BSR never made hammered ware, although there are photos seen from time to time that appear to indicate otherwise. It's odd that, of the known makers of hammered CI, few to none of them ever seem to have seen fit to include it in their catalogs.

Thank you Doug. Curious to see if anything hidden is revealed after a lye bath and the eTank. It’s my first hammered piece and I’m looking forward to putting her back in action.
