A hammered ugly unknown cast iron skillet (that's what they call them, I didn't make that up) with two dots on the handle. Maker unknown, probably capitalizing on the popularity of hammered CI late 1930s or so.
 
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that those pans will have 1, 2, 3, or 4 dots on the handle since they may have been been cast four at a time in a single sand mold (to make them even cheaper to produce). Each of the four dot configurations would correspond to one of the sub-sections of the mold. I could be wrong.
