Most of whose wares, ironically, were made in China most likely. As far as I know they are no longer trading....
The JBK Collection piece is pretty good too; I don't see it move too well in the States, but it sells well if you ship it. (hence finding it in...
Acid tested. There isn't another mark, just the BB. The edges feel a little sharpish and it seems pretty old. American makers didn't mark...

The square ones are harder to find, because so are square cake pans. I have a square springform kicking around somewhere. Never used it but...

Get in line! Not sure if I want to kiss the dude, or strangle him.
