Comments

The frying pan stands on three long legs that are attached to the pan sides with two rivets in each.  A long handle ends in a narrow tang bent to form a loop.  The handle shows little or no evidence of being hammered to flatten it.  The thin-walled pan appears to be cast and to have skimming marks on the outside.

"TL," the likely maker, is not identified.  The manner of marking is not consistent with pre-1900 metal objects.
