Info on Barstow Bread Pan

[BPowell]

Hey guys, I'm looking to see if anyone has any information on this bread pan. It followed me home yesterday. Been searching ever since and cannot seem to find anything about it

Hi Barstow is a RI stove / range company and limited hollow ware foundry. I have several large gem pans and scotch bowls but have not seen the bread pan before so I don't think it is common.

I like that piece and I think it's a great score to find. Maybe someone else will have a little more info on it a I'm a little curious to know.

Sorry, I've no helpful info. on the manufacturer, but must say the green-eyed monster bit when I saw the photos! My feeling is the pan is probably quite unusual. I wonder if it was a special design made to go with a particular style of the stove works main product? Hope someone else has more specific info. on this. In the meantime, I'll just go into the corner and sniffle for a while!

Barstow Stove Company operated out of Providence, RI (Water St) from the 1850s until 1929-30 or so. They are better known for their stoves, but even there, they were a small/regional foundry, so their stoves aren't that common. They also did business as Bay State Stoves (or acquired the name, I don't remember exactly).

To the OP...nice find! I've never seen a piece like it either. Jealous!
