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

Pictures of one I asked about: Shows "7" on handle [img:center] [/img] "z" on bottom: [img:center] [/img] That's about the best I can do, I notice it has the ring on the bottom, never paid attention to it before. Any help is appreciated, just for general knowledge. It'll never be sold, at least by our generation of siblings. Geno

Geno that might be an unmarked Lodge Blacklock...very early Lodge 1900-1910... Thanks, that would fit time frame if it were my mother's mother (my grandma). Were those sold across the USA back then, or just regionally. Mom hailed from NYC, born 1930 there. Geno

Thanks again Cinch (and others)
I did a bit more investigating and looked at some other pics my sister sent. In those, it's easy to see the little initial on the bottom is in the right position, the heat ring is unbroken, the "7" is the right size and the handle shape is correct to the period.
It's a Blacklock/Lodge from early 20th century. Perfect fit for my Grandma to have purchased it before Mom was born.

PS, I've got to stop looking at those websites or I'll have another money sucking hobby going.
PPS when I get back to my trailer I've got to look into identifying an unmarked lid that fits my newer Lodge pan. That should be fun, there's plenty of info on the net for that even.

It's definitely an addicting hobby... I don't find much local, I live in a fairly small town. Every now and then I'll stumble across something though. I hate to think about all the iron that ends up in the dump from people that inherited it and doesn't know how to use it...
