Hi Ed---
  But does a plated pan cook slippery as a well-seasoned bare cast iron?  I'm
doubting it.             good luck, though--yr pal gam in OlyWA

cares for none of them!

thanks all

lots of good info on the site that Matt referenced.  I think it is nickel
because it is a warmer tone, and also the small logo which helps date it.  Also,
a plated pan does not need to be seasoned!
