Can you help me identify if this is Griswold.

I recently purchased this skillet at a used cooking store in SF. The label on it said Griswold. The bottom was too covered in crud to see the logo but the guy at the register said I could return it if it was not authentic. After giving two passes with Easy-Off, it looks like the bottom is too pitted up to see a logo or any distinguishing marks. Does anybody have an idea what make this might be? Also, does the pitting on the underside affect the functionality of the skillet in any way? I know pitting it a problem on the cooking surface, but this is on the underside.

Please let me know if the images are too small. I resized them to 480x640 per the instructions but they were over 350 KB so it was not letting me upload them without making them smaller.

Try posting photos that are at least 600X800. Maybe someone else can help identify, but the pics are too small for me to get a good look. Sorry.

I figured out how to upload larger images and replaced the small ones in the original post with the 600x800 versions.

Even though it is sorely pitted in the center, I still do not see any marking in the non-pitted areas that would indicate that your pan is a Erie/Griswold. Looking at the markings on skillets from other foundries of pans from the same era, it looks like this pan was unmarked, and you'll never know who it was made by. I hope you didn't pay a premium price for this "user" piece. It'll make a nice cooker all cleaned up.
