Unmarked 13" Skillet

Found this skillet no markings that I can find. Assist handle Looks Lodge, Well cast, no breaks in heat ring. Measures 12 7/8.

Those small pour spouts have the look of late BSR to me...but that's just my opinion

Lodge never patented that  loop assist handle. I've seen it on oriental models as well.

Actually, the helper handle is more contoured than Lodge's angular design. I would say the skillet posted is an Asian knockoff of Lodge.

Took it out of the electro and no markings on it. Looks a lot like Lodge,but assist handle is a little different than my #10, a little less crisp. Also from what I found on Lodge a # 12 should measure 13 1/4
this one measures 12 7/8, 13 3/16 at spouts.
