Table Talk Steel 9.5" Pie Pan Plates 
Stamped: "Mrs. Robbinson's Fine Restaurant Pies"

Vintage antiques - likely from 1930s or 1940s!

Table Talk Pies used steel pans because they were durable enough to be reused. Because these pans were expensive to produce, the company instituted a 10-cent deposit to encourage customers to return them.

In the early to mid 20th centuries, pies you bought from restaurants or bakeries often came in a reusable and returnable tins. You could drop them off for a deposit. Table Talk was founded in the early 20s and was one of the biggest makers of these kinds of pie plates.  The punch holes on the bottoms were used as vents to help keep the pies from having soggy crusts.

A metal pie plate produces a flaky, evenly browned crust that stays crisp for several days. Its thin, smooth rim—unlike the curved, crimped, or decorative edges on many glass and ceramic plates—makes it easier to line, trim, and crimp dough. And because metal won't shatter, there's no risk of breaking the dish. You might ruin your pie if you drop the plate, but you won't have to throw away everything else on your countertop because of the shards of glass.

Still in great shape and ready for lots more homemade pie-making!
