identify

I believe I have a #5 3 notch Lodge but it has a raised number on the underside of the handle. Normal? I will post pics as soon as I can. Thanks

I recently inherited some cast iron pieces (both in dire need of a good cleaning, which will happen soon) and would like help in identifying. I'm leaning toward BSR but but the handle where it attaches to the pot part on item is throwing me and on the lid, on either side of the lid handle...

I have attached photos of a pan I got out of a free box, covered in rust. The pan is 11” 5/16 across the top of the wall, cartouche on bottom is about 1” 7/8 by 1” 7/16, the top line reads “8 & 9” as far as I can tell, the bottom line is illegible from rust pitting, solid fire ring, center gate...

I found these two skillets at a garage sale today with hard to identify markings. I think the 9-inch is a Wagner. The other (~10 3/8 inch) is practically bare. I looked at some guides but they are only really helpful for pans with clearer markings. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DN8mg83wKFuMxJ2q1...
