What a fantastic piece of mid century advertising with such lovely patina. A CRISCO baking pan! Founded in 1911, Crisco was the first company to make a shortening completely out of vegetable oil. The pan is made of steel which is rolled over a wire frame and has envelope ends on two of the sides. They don't make them like this anymore! Really sturdy and a cool look into the mid-century kitchen!

The inside bottom of the pan is embossed in an oval with "Crisco For Frying For Shortening For Cake Making". The front side edge has EKCO 630 embossed as well, which identifies the manufacturer and style of the pan.

The pan is in good vintage condition considering it is over 70 years old but has a dark finish and spots of rustiness on the bottom and in the corners. It would not be useable unless a wire brush was used to remove the rust. Some discoloration from use along the outside rim. The spots where that has been cleaned up show the original bright silver color. With a lot of elbow grease, it could look like that again if that is your desire. I personally love the patina!

This could be great catch-all by the front door, a display piece on the kitchen wall or function as a serving dish with a liner for the next get together.
