Interwar Peak (1918–1945) · Muffin Pan
Favorite Piqua Ware 11-Cup Muffin Pan
Used price$70–$150live on eBay
An 11-cup muffin (gem) pan from Favorite Stove & Range Co. of Piqua, Ohio, roughly 11 by 7⅝ inches and about 1⅝ inches deep. Eleven cups was a common layout across several makers, including Wagner and Griswold, so the Piqua Ware mark on the back is what identifies a Favorite pan; unmarked 11-cup pans can't be attributed from the cup layout alone. Marked Favorite gem pans are much harder to find than Wagner or Griswold equivalents. Before buying: confirm the Piqua Ware mark in a clear photo, hold the pan up to light and check every cup for a through-crack (which takes roughly 40–60% off the value), check the frame and handles for cracks, and treat carbon in the cups as cosmetic. Bread-stick and corn pans by Favorite also turn up and are different items.
Common defects to inspect
Through-crack in a cup; cracked frame or handle; unmarked 11-cup pans attributed to Favorite; mark softened by cleaning

How to identify a real Favorite Stove
FAVORITE PIQUA WARE in an arc or block layout, often with a curved "smiley" line underneath, plus a size number that may carry a letter (8A); some pans add BEST TO COOK IN, and some carry the MIAMI diamond. Puritan-marked pieces were made for Sears. The bare word Favorite without Piqua is not proof of this maker.
Buying guide
Which one to buy
From Sep 25, 2026 listings
No Favorite Piqua-Ware 11-cup muffin pan is listed right now; the only Favorite pan the search turned up is a restored cornstick-style bread pan, a different piece. When one appears, look for the Piqua-Ware mark on the back, since restoration can wear it faint, and ask for close photos or a shot held up to light to check all 11 cups for through-cracks, which cost 40–60% of the value. A saved eBay search is the realistic way to catch one.
