IM Cast Aluminum

[GTurner]

I purchased an Iron Mountain Chicken Pan recently. It is cast aluminum. I have spoken with DougD about it, and he is thinking that it is a reproduction. I am wondering if myself since I have not heard of any aluminum Iron Mountain products. Here it's a picture of it along with my #5 IM skillet.

Any and all thoughts of the piece is appreciated. If you notice, the handle does not have the same pronounced shape as my #5 does.

I should have said I know it is.

IM #5 handles are different from the others. The aluminum copy's handle is like the majority.

I know the #5 has a teardrop inside as opposed to oval. But, if you notice the outside edges are not as pronounced on the aluminum piece. They are more tapered.

The handle on the #5 differs from the rest by more than just the hole shape, but that characteristic is the most obvious.
