Hammered DO ID?

[Robert R.]

If there's one thing I can't do...
It's ID Hammered iron.
Here's some pics.
Any info/replies, etc. is greatly appreciated!

Often, it's the bottoms of things that tell us the most about them, and why we ask for a photo of the entire bottom of a pan. Also true of the underside of a cover.

My bad...

No markings on the bottom and the underside of the lid has indents as opposed to bumps or spikes

Dimpling pattern and basting drippers are wrong for Wagner. Handle style and unmarked bottom is wrong for CHF. Some Google Lensing led to some very interesting and relatively recent information relating it to the so-called "pointy handle" skillets. Also to some rather compelling info linking it to the "ribbon" skillets and DOs, including an interesting tidbit about the hammered DOs having ribbon ghosts. One collector obsessed with them has mapped enough sightings to show a concentration along the Pacific coast, suggesting a regional foundry in that area.

See if you can see a ribbon ghost on your pan. Could be below the bail attachments or the assist tab and opposite it.
