I've been in Tucson this past week, and--boy!--was it a cast iron desert! I guess I went in 6 or 7 antique shops and either didn't find anything or found a couple of mismatched pieces that cost their weight in gold. On a whim I checked Craig's List and found this gem pan listed. Picked it up today and am so happy to have one that's so old -- I'm a sucker for old. It has R & E Mfg Co on one handle and a 1 on the back. The other handle says something like patented in 185_ (can't remember and it's already packed to go home with me). I am a happy camper.
