It's Raining No. 3's...

This weekend I went to my favorite flea market twice! Friday saw a bounty of decent iron including a No.8 and No.9 long griddle, and a Long Life skillet that might become a regular star in my kitchen. Today, however brought nothing but a rainstorm - of No. 3 skillets! 5 of them! and a No. 4 Wagner made "Griswold" to break up the monotony (my first "in the wild" sighting of a No.4).

From left to right: unmarked Wagner, Small logo Griswold, Wagner Wear, BSR/Hemenway's, Lodge one-notch, and Griswag No.4.

The one that I'm most curious about is what appears to be a BSR Red Mountain with a partially filled in hanging hole and the name "HEMENWAY'S" on the handle! What on Earth? Has anyone ever seen one of these or know who Hemenway is?

As some bonus trivia, does anyone want to venture a guess as to where this Gem pan came from? It looks almost like it has a sprue mark knob on the middle cup.

The Hemenway's skillet is probably from a restaurant, like the Pitty Pat's Porch skillets BSR made.

Is the gem pan a Waterman? I know there are a lot of recasts but that one looks like it might be the real deal.

There are no markings on top of the handles as far as I can tell. This is the first gem pan I've ever owned, so I don't really have a sense for it's age or relative quality. I'll try to get some pictures up once it's spent some time at the spa.
