Description
Baking pan consisting of thirteen cups arranged in three rows of four patterns or shapes: five plain rounds, four fluted or scalloped rounds, two six-pointed stars, and two hearts. Pierced tab handles at ends have cast-in marks of "REID'S.PAN" at one end and "DEC.1870" at the other, all in raised serif letters.
Adam Reid of Buffalo, NY, received U.S. Patent No. 5132 for his cake pan design on July 18, 1871; this pan predates his patent.
