Aluminum Loaf Pan with brown non-stick coating?

Has anyone used these old school type pans?  They look like standard aluminum 9x5 loaf pans but they have a brown painted non-stick coating inside.  Was this a precursor to Teflon coated pans?  I have 4 of these pans and would like to pick up a few more (found the ones I have at thrift stores).

ie. have you tried them? I'd give them a go - might need a good wash and take a drop of vegetable oil before filling with dough.

Do have a good look at the coating though - sure it's not just a patina of baked-on spray oil used over the years?

inside to line it also if you're unsure.  Even though i have some nice American Baking pans...and I highly recommend them, I always use parchment to line them.  It allows little or no washing...maybe just a wipe with a damp cloth or a rinse and they come out of the pan so easy.

I do remember those pans, too.

Hope this helps.
