I was wondering the same thing.

What can anyone tell me about a CI skillet, a small "z" (or maybe an "N'?) on the bottom, with a rather large 7 at the base of the handle where it joins the pan. No other markings that my sister can find, but the bottom and sides are pretty crusty with burned on stuff built up over nearly 100 (or more) years of use.

Sister measured it at about 9 1/2" top of pan, 8 1/2' bottom. I might be able to post pics when I download them to my computer from the phone.

We have no idea where it came from, could even be foreign, about all we know it was my grandmother's or maybe even my great grandma's according to our mom (who would be 87 this year if still alive). She remembered it always being in use.

Thanks for any help,

Geno
