I’m sorry, but what in the world kind of pan am I looking at and now need to be looking for myself?

He mentioned in the title that is a Revere Ware brand pan. They typically have a copper cladding on the bottom of the pan. My family had some cheap revere ware that had the bottom of the pan plated in copper with the bulk of the pan being (very thin stainless). This pan appears to be a nicer version of what my family had. Also, FYI some pans are ALL copper but they are pain in the rear to keep clean as copper oxidizes quickly.

Revere ware limited edition. It was top of the line stuff in its day. If you dont want to shell out the money for all clad or other nice brands i would look on ebay for some of these. They’re a little thin but the copper makes for an even heat

I almost didn't believe this was revere ware because I couldn't see the line where it goes from stainless to copper.

How did you do this?!
Im not OP but it looks like there is a tin of rubbing compound in the back which is an automotive polish. You can get similar results using metal polish (like Brasso) and lots of elbow grease. If i were to do this myself i would probably try brasso then quickly move over to buffing wheel.
I got the years of cooked on grime off with barkeeps friend and steel brush. After that i sanded with 500->1000->2000. Next i used a polishing wheel and compound and finished with a buffer and auto polish. It took like an hour or two. Its far from perfect tho, it has a ton of tiny scratches in the light but i plan on using it as my go to pan for small stuff
Hand sand or belt sander?
A vibrating one then by hand with sponge sanding block
