Picked it up for a song recently. I suspect it to be a BSR but it's kind of weird. Also, why is it so clean and skinny? It looks like aluminum but it's labeled as CI.

Got any pics of the bottom? That would help a lot in identifying it. It’s probably so shiny because it’s been polished for some reason.

Did they seriously grind off the griswold logo? Would be a really nice find in better condition. Should still work great.

Damn, nice job. I mean I got it for $30, I'm not complaining. I was going to try to flip it for $45-50.

It's so weird, the bottom. It almost looks like they tried to grind away the logo and bottom text or something. Deep gouges in the metal

Have you experienced polished skillets before? I notice this pan is highly resistant to rusting even with no seasoning on it. Very uncanny

It might have some kind of coating and was only used decoratively. Make sure you give it a good scrubbing if you plan to cook with it.
