Can anyone help with this?

[Ray Diaz]

I have a lodge Pan #8 The name lodge is printed on the bottom at the 12 o'clock point on the pan it has a B at the 6 o'clock position and on the handle is the #8 It has a fire ring.  I would sure appreciate anybody that could help me tell how old this pan is.

Welcome to the Forum, Ray.  Some WAGS members collect Lodge and they would be in a better position to advise you.  It appears to be a much older Lodge than most I have seen.

Thanks Jim I appreciate the welcome.  I also found out how old my pan is. Its between 1910 and 1930.  Thanks again.

Hi Ray, Nice find, Can you post a closer view of the underside of the handle and post a top view of the handle,
Thanks

[Ray Diaz]

Thank you Valarie but I found the date of the pan on the internet it is a Vintage Lodge from 1910 to 1930.  Now I am trying to ascertain what the B stands for.  I am thinking it is some sort of mold designation Not sure but if anyone knows I sure would be interested in it.  I have seen these letters on Lodge pans before This one happens to be a B but I have seen P and A on other lodge pans.  Just a letter by the hilt of the handle on the bottom???? Curious to say the least.  Thanks again for your interest.

Hi Brian Yes indeed you have a beautiful shop in Bandon I have talk to you and I bought a 11 Griswold pan from you..  It's my favorite cooker and its beautiful as well.  You had it priced decently and that is much appreciated

Thank you Valarie but I found the date of the pan on the internet it is a Vintage Lodge from 1910 to 1930

Hi Ray,
Yes I understand you have dated the skillet from information on the internet, I am still interested in seeing a close up of the underside and top side of the handle if you could post a shot of them.
Thanks

[Ray Diaz]

Sure Valarie here you go

Those are nice, smooth, light cookers. Among my favorites. Nice find Ray!

VERY nice pan, Ray!  I would love to find one of those old Lodges.     [smiley=yes.gif]

I would date that 1910-1920 as per the Red Book.
