This pan has been in my family for over 100 yrs., and the seasoning is original. Cast iron cookware gets better with use, so in this case old is better than new. There is less sticking. No damage or repairs.The only readable marking is the '10' on the back. But I have more information from Cyberspace:"R&E Manufacturing Co. - New Britain, Connecticut Russell & Erwin Manufacturing of New Britain, Connecticut produced pans of the same design as Waterman, and that bear the same Waterman patent date information. US Patent Office records show R&E as assignees of the Waterman patent, reissued in 1867 and described as an "egg pan and cake baker". It is theorized that it was R&E who actually produced the Waterman-marked pans for N. Waterman, whose primary business was that of a kitchen equipment retailer.Raised Number Gem PansYou may see gem pans of the Waterman/R&E design that have no information inscribed on them except for a raised size number on the bottom of one handle. Although apparently older and of reasonable quality, who made these pans and when is not totally clear."
