The retro style bakelite handle and that the aluminum is stamped
rather than spun tells me that pan is from the mid 1940s... was
typically used as a pancake/grilled cheese griddle back then (there
were square versions following), but that's the extent of its
interest, it has absolutely no culinary value today except possibly a
defroster.
