I got this skillet from my mom, there are no markings anywhere on it. It’s 9” across the bottom and 3.25” deep measured inside Thanks.

Unmarked deep skillet ID

Chicago Hardware Foundry acquired patterns from Favorite Piqua when it went out of business. CHF changed markings on some of those to simply a size number or a letter inside a diamond. Yours being 3-1/4" deep makes it a chicken fryer and normally there would be a letter inside a diamond at the 6 o'clock position, as seen here: https://www.castironcollector.com/forum/threads/unmarked-wagner-5-antique-store.9531/post-54788. Another possibility is that Favorite made it completely unmarked. Unmarked versions of pans were made to sell in lower-priced market channels.

Thanks for the info Doug, Someone told me it was possibly an unmarked Favorite from Columbus Hollow Ware so I did a Bing search and got this https://www.booniehicks.com/the-favorite-columbus-hollow-ware-co/. In the article he mentions that unmarked may have been prison made, but then he says that it is highly unlikely. Do you think it could be possible?
