content: Ribbed or corrugated cylindrical baking pan with cut and folded flat ends; made in two, identical, long halves with gold-finished interiors that lock together with a wire bracket handle at one end. Both halves have a continuous, horizontal flange with folded rim that has three negative notches on one end and three positive bumps on the other (the two at sides punched to hold the wire handle); flipping the halves in opposite directions fits them together, while the handle swings to fit between the ridges and lock the pan shut. Both halves are identically stamped incuse on the flange "PATENTED" in sans serif letters.
