ID help unmarked #5 w/ heat ring
« on: June 25, 2019, 01:30:03 PM »
I got this pan at a garage sale, but can't figure out who made it or when. Any ideas?

Looks lodge to me. Russell, Tom, Cheryl what says ya?

The inscribed 5 on the handle appears to rule out Lodge from my perspective. I would chalk it up to another mystery foundry.
It still is a nice skillet though.

The handle on these look very much like the Handles seen on the HUUCI Skillets... (Hammered Unknown Ugly Cast Iron)... :)

BUT... the heat ring and wide graceful pour spouts sure do remind me of LODGE...  I don't know with any certainty... though...  :-/ :-/
