1920s Duplex Dripless Broiler Dundee MFG Boston Mass Griswald #875/876 Alumium

Description: Very scarce and historic piece of kitchen wear. This is what is called a Broiler pan! It was used on a stove top to broiler mainly meats like steak & lamb etc. This example is very early and dates to the 1910s or 1920s. I found the period article about this piece and It's original price of 3.50. The date of the original article at 3.50 would be close to 65.00 dollars today.. This piece was called the Duplex Dripless Smokeless broiler it was Made by Dundee MFG Co Inc in Boston Massachusetts.... it at the time this explain was made had a patent applied for it... it directs to keep it on low flame! It is made of cast aluminum due to weighing a couple pounds would probably scrap wise be worth 20+ dollars today. Interesting Dundee invented it but it seems Griswald stole the design or bought the rights to it and would later produced the famous Griswald broiler #875 & #876. They are almost identical! Dundee Mfg Co was located at 17 Edinboro Stree Boston Massachusetts. Little is known about them. I cannot find any record of other products or what ultimately happened to them.. the article was taken from a a June 1923 copy of American Cookery. It appears the product was tested by the Good House Keeping Institute which was a seal given by the Good Housekeeping Magazine and was awarded serial number 2288 in 1919. It appears to have been a popular tool in the 1920s but 3.50 was a lot of money back then so maybe the depression killed the company! This is a salty used original it was found in an old sealed garage attic in Kingston NY that hadn't be accessed since the 1970s or 80s. Condition is a bit salty. It has a micro crack in the very middle, this doesn't compromise its usefulness or the structural nature of the piece at all but should be noted. It has a darkened black patina from years of cooking. It does have some minor aluminum pest on one side and could use a great clean up and a very scrub! Otherwise it's in as found attic condition!
