For a long period of time, as far back as the 1930s through the 1970s, Birmingham Stove & Range produced a series of cast iron handled saucepans for stovetop cooking. These pans were unmarked, in that they did not have a manufacturer logo. Their design was also quite different from that of the more famous BS&R cast iron skillets. Because of this, saucepans from Birmingham Stove & Range are largely unknown to collectors. Even so, there are identifying traits common to these pans that can make them easy to spot.

Meanwhile, here is a "Pioneer" series dutch oven produced much later, possibly in the 1970s. At that time, BS&R was beginning to produce cast iron pans that were made to fit glass lids. This pot has the markings of a Century Cookware dutch oven, but it has a glass lid.

A long-running rumour among the cast iron community has stated the rare knob handled BS&R cast iron lids were actually produced for the Pioneer cookware line, but this has been demonstrated to be incorrect.
