Unusual #6 Skillet

Last week I found this in a podunk little antique store in Maryland. They mostly sold furniture and no CI that I was aware of, but on the way out my kid spotted this on the floor by the door. It was only a buck, so I figured "Why not". The pan's appearance, size of the pour spouts, and texture of the exterior look and feel like it could be a post-DISA pan but I don't recall ever seeing a reinforcing rib like that on a post-DISA pan. Despite being essentially the exact same diameter, it's also 6 ounces lighter than a 1935-1959 #6 flat bottomed Wagner, which seemingly contradicts it being post-DISA. The handle is a good bit longer than typical, too. Anyone know the maker or seen anything like it?

Ty,
It definitely doesn't resemble another type skillet that I own or have seen.
The all caps lettering would have me thinking BS & R but it pretty much stops there. The Con Brio and Lady Bess pans by BS & R had a ridge similar to what yours has on the underside of the handle but those two pans either had wood or another type handle which there again rules out that theory.
Definitely different......
