My wonderful, old pans

I've noticed that many folks settle on one brand and collect all of them, but I'm a lover of all things old and wanted to have a sampling of several of them. So I'm so excited to show you what I've collected so far...and they all sit flat!

(I would be delighted to get any info as to approximate date on any of these....)



unknown, because it's so old--

Very nice collection so far Donna. I had a pan here I've been wanting to get a better look at bottom. The other day I had I noticed tiny amount of oven cleaner left in the garage and had enough to just coat the bottom. It's been cold here and maybe with a little luck in a few days I might get a better peak of it.


Steve,
 
Nice pans, Donna! They are older ones for sure, and I also think that's the oldest "muffin" gem pan I've seen. I bet you'll love cooking in them; I really appreciate my older pans. Thanks for sharing with us.
 
I've also got a #7 Wagner Arc logo (i think that's what that is) and it's one of the lightest pans in my collection. I'd love to find more in other sizes!

Also, that gate marked "muffin" pan is pretty awesome!!

Nice pans, Donna! I would love to have a muffin pan, but every time I run across one, they are priced higher than I want to pay!
 
Regarding the muffin pan...I found myself wondering is 11 an "odd" number for the number of muffin cups? I'm a complete beginner...is "cup" the correct term? (Or maybe correct enough?)

And finally...lest anyone else also get this humorous quote in their head:

SJ, eleven cup pans are pretty common; except for one eccentric, possibly Wagner I have, that style is usually 11 cups. Also, they are properly called popover pans. I think muffins are somewhat larger diameter and somewhat shallower than popovers, sorry for the misnomer in my previous post.
 
Thank you Sharon. It's exciting to have a new hobby and a whole new area of knowledge to slowly build. The info you provided is much appreciated.
