Griswald #9 dutch oven?
I picked up a nice hammered dutch oven, it is marked 9 on the bottom, but has no other markings. It is all hammered with same style and size of "hammering" on both lid and pot as a Griswald I saw on ebay. It has the same shaped lid and style inside and out including the duel drip rings on the inside of the lid. It has the same bail and bail connections. It has a flat smooth bottom and doesn't have a heat ring. There was no pic's of bottom on the ebay listing. The 9 is the only marking anywhere on mine. I measured it's size at about 10" diam at the bottom, 11 1/2" diam at the top, and about 4" deep inside.
The pictures I am using for comparison on ebay are of a hammered #8 Griswold.

These pictures were the only ones I could find like mine but they don't show the bottom. I could use some insight as to it's make and vintage.
For me, a newbie, still a mystery.
