OT - Any cast iron cookware buffs know anything about this piece?

[blacklistedbully]

Trying to figure out what this is, who made it and from about what century. For all I know it could be modern or pre-1900. No real clue.

Are there any markings on the bottom other than the 3 on the handle?

Is that a confederate flag image in the bottom of the pan?

I have also wondered if that is supposed to be a Confederate flag, but I don't know. If it is, there's not much detail. But if it is, there is a greater chance this is a much older piece. From the pic of the bottom I posted there is one mark, but I don't know if it is stamped or wear from previous use.

It’s a decorative pan depicting a barn.

See if the ole lady can make corn bread in it. If not, throw her out

It could be some sort of ash pan for an old stove.

If you use Reddit, try r/castiron. I’ll bet you get some answers.

In the early 1900's there were 3 companies who specialized in custom engraved cast iron skillets which i believe this was. They were Birmingham-Wagner-Griswald. Both Birmingham and Griswald specialized in the more square or odd shaped skillets. the Value is between $125-200 or higher for a collector.

Thanks, all!

it would have been extremely rare for a confederate flag design to be put on a cast iron skillet pre-1870's. also the iron would have been thinner, and the Pitino would be much more defined.

My dyslexia had me read this as Ole Miss was hiring Rick Pitino.

No idea but I like it!

Or it could be the Cross of St. Andrew. Scottish

Could be an Alabama flag since there are no stars.

I don't see a 3 on the handle.

You could always send an email with pictures to the cast iron factory in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee. It's just across the Alabama/Tenn border west of Chattanooga on I-24.

Either this or a mold of some sort.

Thanks, Rocket. There is a 3 on the underside of the handle.
