Long Pan/Fish Fryer??? ID Help Please

Bought this for $20, the guy called it a fish fryer??? Any idea on maker, there's no real marks, and original intended use?

The makers called them deep long pans or shallow long pans depending on how deep or shallow they were. They were made to fit between the eyes of a wood stove, but there's no reason you couldn't use it on a regular stove. There are fish fryers out there that are similar.

Im no help, never saw one, but it looks usefull.

Kevin is correct. If it didn't have a pour spout it would have been a sad iron heater. Just as Keven said you would remove two stove eyes and the divider in between them and it would sit into the oval hole left. They also made a tall oval pot that would fit into the same oval hole called a ham boiler. I have a pan like yours and the ham boiler. Just need the wood stove to match! I'm sure they would have used it as a griddle, a fish fryer, and a sad iron heater!

I think the term 'fish fryer' gets stuck on these pans because of the pans made for the sportsmen grills... the shallow and deep 'fryer' pans.
