This antique vintage aluminum strainer sauce pan was either my mom's or my husband's mom's. They were both from the rural Midwest so they had many similar items. This strainer was probably used to scald peaches or tomatoes before they were skinned for canning. The pan itself is in very good condition, the rivets where the handle is connected are fine. The hexagonal holes on the bottom are all as they should be with no broken or torn ones. We are downing sizing and see no need to keep this.
