The style of lettering used to mark "20" doesn't match up with the Griswold marked pieces - looks more like a Lodge to me.

I was at our annual Fair here. This is the one hundred and sixtieth year for the Fair. Its the largest County Fair in the World, larger than a lot of State Fairs. I seen this food concession tonight and look what they were using. I tried to get them all in the pic but could not do so. They said they had more too in case one of them needed to be replaced. So these folks are cooking up a storm. Cast iron is alive and well. I had to ask people to get back so I could take a picture. They had their noses right up there watching them guys work their magic with that cast iron.

Thanks for all the replies. Also for the new knowledge i received.
I think i will pass. Its 260 mile rd trip and he wants $220 for that and a few other pieces. The only other good piece is a Sm logo #10 Gris. If it was a Gris i would have been there already

Scott if you are wanting a #20 I would go for it. I finely found one about a month ago, had been hunting a 20 many years. All I found over time were cracked, pitted, warped and way to high priced.
found it at auction, 220 mile rd trip. Had to pay $139 and I thought that was a bargain.

One more, this one I have used a good bit, it will do 20 lbs of hash browns with room to spare.  We have enjoyed many a camp fire cook out with friends with this one.
