For your consideration is this hefty #10 cast Iron skillet from Birmingham Stove and Range. Birmingham Stove & Range (BSR) made two lines of cast iron cookware, their Red Mountain Series from the 1930’s until the 1950’s, and their Century Series from the 50’s onward. This piece is from the Century Series and likely dates to the mid 1960’s. The cooking surface has some light rash on the surface but is still very smooth and can hardly be felt by hand. This pan will still perform beautifully, and the surface will continue to smooth out with use. These BSR skillets are awesome to cook with. They have the heft of a modern Lodge skillet for when you want to put a good sear on your steak or roast. They also have the smooth polished cooking surface vintage iron is renowned for. A real workhorse in the kitchen. The bottom has a heat ring and is marked with the skillet size in inches along with size No. Sits flat and would work well for all cooktops. BSR skillets are a great value for anyone wanting the smooth cooking surface of a vintage skillet, without the price tag of other brands. A great daily user. Cleaned to bare iron using electrolysis then seasoned 3 times.
