Never seen this before anywhere!

Can somebody enlighten me? It is aluminum, 9" x 13" and has a black handle. It looks like a paint pan but it is used for cooking but what? There is no makers name.

It looks like the coal shovel for a barbeque to spread the hot coals around the bottom of the grill.

Yea, but it has a large lip all away around. It would just shove the coals not scoop them.  I'm over 60 and I have never come across one. I've gone to thrift stores, garage sales and auctions for 40 years.

because of the postion of the finger grip on the handle this picture would indicate that we are looking at the bottom ..

This is the bottom or the top!

The closest thing I've found is a bacon and egg skillet, but not quite.

Thanks for the input. I can't imagine cooking anything with this pan.

I've been searching on this for a while near as I can tell its a drip pan to catch grease and part of something else not sure what, I know does not help much but it gives another line of thought...

[trustedbasset]

That's probably the closest I will come to. Now I thinking what kind of drips, fat from cooking, oil from auto or water from a fridge? What kind of pan would it fit under? This pan makes no sense.
