SOLD Here is a very nice example of an early Waterman #4 gem pan in excellent condition. This example has 8 compartments. The Waterman patent was issued on April 5,1859 and was for an "egg pan and cake baker" and was for a pan with eleven cups with flat bottoms. The patent stated, 'The open spaces between the cups allowed for the currents of heat to pass upwards between them so as to equalize the heat against their surfaces. The metallic connections of the cups serve as conveyers of heat from cup to cup.' Waterman's patent number for the egg and cake baker is 23,517. A previous patent for another cast iron pan was issued in 1858, but after the 4/5/1859 patent date, all of his cookware was dated with this date, rather than an earlier date.
