hehehe That would be Mean Green Shannon Kathleen sooooo yep

So we went up to the cabin today to get the pans. I think i done good..



Two 5's with different stamps.




Number 6


Number 8


I was informed that they were most likely purchased in the late 1940's by my gf's aunt.

I can't wait to get them in working order!

The two Griswolds were made from 1939 to 1957. One of the 5's is a 3 knotch lodge from 1940 to the 1950's. The other is a Birmingham Stove and Range Red Mountain series from 30's into the 50's. Seems like the time line is correct.

Really doesn't look like you're going to have to do too much to condition them. They look in pretty good shape from the pictures anyway.

This is why i love this forum! Thank you for the ID! I spent a good deal of time last night reading up on the markings used on these pans. The number 5's had me vexed! I thought they were all Griswolds.

TBH they are in better shape then i expected. I had only just glimpsed one of the number 5's when we were up at their cabin a while back. Its a rental unit, and the other cookware in the house had been very roughly used over the years. These were stuffed way in the back of the stove drawer and i think they were used much less. I didn't even see the other pans till yesterday.

Frying eggs in the Wagner #8 this morning. I ended up messing them up

I have found that butter is the best for fried eggs in CI . Not sure why but seems to be the best for slipperyness.
