The first and only book for collectors of cast-iron Bundt pans. Includes pans from both the US and Germany.



Many of the cast-iron foundries in Germany were converted to support the
German military during WWI and WWII. Unfortunately for these foundries,
this made them prime military targets. The result was many of the
foundries were destroyed, along with all their records, catalogs,
patterns, and molds. Little information was left behind for collectors
to research and catalog the foundry marks on many of the collectible
pans cast in Germany. Known manufacturers covered include the following:



    Berkley Machine Works and Foundry Co.

    Buzuluk a.s.

    Cousances–Le Creuset

    Eisenwerk Lauchhammer
