No it isn't.  These are unknown hammered, which some refer to as HUUCI...  "Hammered Unknown Ugly Cast Iron".... <lovingly>.  Some folks collect these.  :) :)

The "ugly" name doesn't bother me! Ours are identical as far as I can tell.  :) I've had a few of my grandmother's for 23 years now but looking into cleaning the magnalite of hers that I have is what led me here. I've yet to clean them, but have a little CI wish list going.  ;D
