Griswold 930A

Excerpt from this page on this site:

"As cast iron manufacture became a national (and subsequently international) enterprise, systems were necessary to insure all parties involved knew exactly what was being bought and sold. In the case of Griswold, in addition to model or item numbers, "pattern numbers" were devised, ostensibly unique to each model, size, and type of pan produced. Griswold pieces like skillets and dutch ovens are inscribed with their size number and a pattern number. Other Griswold pieces like gem and muffin pans have both an item number and a pattern number inscribed in them. The Griswold pattern number is then appended with a letter unique to each working pattern.
