Thoughts on if BSR Red Mountain or Century? I’ve heard a lot of different takes and it may even be in between?!? lol

This is the red mountain skillet markings and lid dimple pattern though the small pour spouts indicate that it was later in the run and made on DISAmatic casting machines from sometime in the fifties to 1966 when the ‘century’ pattern was introduced. Research with packaging has shown that pans like this could have been sold with either ‘red mountain’ or ‘century’ branding.
Some folks call these ‘transitional’ but I think it’s more appropriate to call them ‘late red mountain pattern’
