Is this BSR?

Hard to say. I think, based on the size of the ears, it's a Red Mountain series before they went to the automated method of making their CI. That would put it about 1930 to 1967 or so. I'm not sure when the "S" series of skillets were made, but they were smaller than their normal sized skillets. In other words, if that is a genuine 3S, it would be smaller than their 3.

This page has some info on the S series--

I'm a new collector so don't know which sites to trust and which not, so maybe someone else can comment on that....but this site has been recommended to me in the past.

Good catch on the S; at first glance I was thinking it was a pattern identifier but no, it's the smaller S series. Those apparently were only Red Mountain, were not made after the name brand (but pre-automation) switch to Century. So that narrows it down slightly, 1930s - 1957.
It also means it's a more rare example, as S series don't turn up nearly as often.
