Here is another Mystery pan. I already know that gate marked pans are difficult and most of the time impossible to identify. I haven't seen one like it anywhere else and was curious if anyone else has one like it or has any information about it. Has a smooth bottom, gate marks were ground down, has an incised #8 on the bottom, the handles are curved, and it has the two tiny pointed pour spouts. For a long pan its rather smooth on the cooking surface. I haven't finished cleaning it yet. The tiny pour spouts remind me of a couple of Southern Mystery Skillets I've seen. I picked it up in the Mountains of Virginia at an Antique Mall.
