Sold for: $25
Description
This vintage cast iron skillet is identified as a product of the Birmingham Stove and Range (BSR) company, specifically from the Red Mountain series produced between approximately 1930 and 1950. The skillet features a traditional circular design with two integrated pour spouts. The underside is constructed with an inset heat ring located near the outer edge of the base. Hand-scribed characters transcribed as 7 0 are incised on the bottom near the handle attachment, corresponding to the skillet size and molder identification. The handle is designed with a teardrop-shaped hanging hole and a reinforced triangular ridge where it meets the pan body. The interior cooking surface is smooth and factory-ground, typical of high-quality cookware from this era. The item includes a handwritten descriptive tag.
