@BilletHead nice pieces. Did you get some of those from Relics since one or more of those look familiar?

      No John went north East a bit for the gem. West for the others. @ness the bushwacker made a raid on your state.

That #3 Gem pan would make really good muffins.  Cornbread, blueberry, you name it.

Yes it will. I think this one makes me a half dozen or more shapes. Next batch will be out of it. Those things can be a real pain to clean and restore. This 3 will be so simple. No nooks and crannies to speak of.

We were in Missouri the first week of July. I picked up a Wagner Ware #8 that I wanted to give to one of my kids once it has been cleaned and reseasoned. There is something visceral about that first cleaning with oven cleaner. Starting to get off the 50 to 60 years of build-up.

The old carbon fought well but I was able to get a refurbished skillet done and I gave it to my daughter and her boyfriend for hopefully another 40 to 50 years of cooking :D.

That's why I gave up on cornbread pans that look like ears of corn.  Cool idea.  Bad result.

           @tho1mas,

          This might explain my experience with the corn stick pan and clear up your confusion. Heck maybe you can help me get it to work. I have restored a Birmingham stove and range corn bread pan. It turned out nice and got a good seasoning. I tried a couple recipes and did not have any luck getting the stick to release.  All those little divots of the individual corn kernels really hold the muffin. I tried preheating too like the other gems I have made in slick pans. They release fine but not this pan. I have seen recipes where oil is mixed with the batter and a goodly amount melted in the bottom before putting in batter. I like some fat in my diet but not this much 😶.

      Anybody have an idea?  thumbnail_0720200954.jpg

they make a nice wall hanger😉. As cool as they look to me there is little sense in fighting the design if the gem pans work so much better. But I probably wouldn't  fish with a 80 yr old bamboo fly rod either 🙄.
