Hello Brian

Your pictures were not attached. Have you read the "Identifying No Name CI" here http://www.castironcollector.com/unmarked.php

Appears to be wrought iron, as opposed to cast. At least the handle is, anyway. If the pan part is cast, the hammering would have been cast in rather than hand hammered.

If the pan part is cast, there would be artifacts like gate or sprue marks, the point where excess iron from the mold would have been broken or ground off.
