Looks like 30`s or 40`s cast aluminum !! Is it cereal spoon size or larger pot stirring size ?? I would think larger !! My grandmother used cast aluminum cookware !! I still have a saucepan !! This could have been a freebie when you bought the set !!

nice mart

and you would be right it is the larger size and pretty darn heavy-cool to the touch 

aluminum sounds right

it has had a very hard life for sure

rauville--thanks for the etsy link I think that's it...ice cream

mine must have been used in Alaska judging from the split in the back!
