A pancake griddle is designed in shape and coating for cooking pancakes. Frying pans are designed to fry foods in oil, butter, etc., so they are not coated the same way as a griddle, if at all. Your pancakes are less likely to char on the griddle.
Ableskiver (Danish spelling) or ebleskiver pans are made of cast iron. This provides excellent heat conduction for cooking, primarily used to make a pancake puff concoction.
Chinese chefs using high heat woks never wash them with soap.
Copper pans are the best pans, used by professional chefs. They conduct heat very evenly, and adds stability when beating egg whites.
Aebleskivers are traditional Danish pancakes, shaped like a ball. You can buy special pans to make them; check with your local kitchenware store.

The plett pan, which is used to make the small, traditional pancakes traditional to Swedish cooking, have been made by many manufacturers, and not all of them were (are) Swedish. Tracking down all of the folks turning the utensils out might be an exercise in foolishness. It would be wise to just get one of these cast iron monsters, and start experimenting with making those Swedish pletts rather than trying to figure out who all was involved in making the pans. But its your call. Bon appétit!
