Lucked upon some Parker stuff.

Good work Brian! That stand is gorgeous. Funny actually; As I looked at them at first the only explanation I could come up with for the single larger lip 'handle' on one end, if they aren't bread pans, was that they could be a small drawer of some kind. A bread pan would have a handle on both ends. These could certainly be 'repurposed' as bread pans though. Without the wood stand I can't imagine what else one would do with them unless you used them to make the mother of all lead ingots. I have a lead ingot from the Kellogg mining district in Idaho that would fill more than one of those. I bet some of these got used for storing mixed nuts and bolts in the barn once the wood part was gone...
