I really like the "real" BSR Red Mountain pans. Unfortunately, finding them has turned out to be more difficult than I would have expected given that later BSR seem to be lying around everywhere. To be clear, I'm interested in trying to find the older, pre-automation stuff, not just the pieces that are typically called Red Mountain because of the way they are marked. Several years ago I found this combo.

While the lid looks typical for the RMS, the pan had the smaller spouts that probably indicate post-automation. I've kept my eyes out for years looking for older RMS stuff, and never run across any. Then two weeks ago I came across this.

Finally! I paid $20 for the pan, which is not exactly a deal, but I wasn't letting it get away from me! Additionally, I believe this must be an example of their AA finish, as the surface is as polished as any Griswold I have ever seen. The pan is a nice match for the lid, although the hand-scribed size number on the pan makes the lid number look pretty out of place.
