Please identify Bean Pot?

Bought this at a thrift store for $5. Decided I won't use it. Would like to put it on Ebay but cannot find anything similar to this. Lid has a ring and pot and lid are notched to make a tight seal. Any help appreciated. No markings.

You have two parts of one of a few different designs of "combination cookers". The missing parts would be a shallower pan (with or without a long handle) which nested in the larger pot, and a skillet, which typically also functioned as a lid on some sets. People do collect them, and someone else may be looking for these parts.

thanks for the fast reply. Even looking up combination cooker I am not finding anything like mine. Any maker ideas? I cannot find a lid like this one.

Two designs have traceable inventors, the Johnson and the Blankenship. The others have not been narrowed down to who designed them much less who actually produced them. Putting together a truly matching set from found parts can be daunting. There is at least one other design that has a piece that functions as a cover only. I have seen yours before, but without the ring.
