Help identifying molder mark

[JDrucker]

I have been reading everything that I can and cannot find any help identifying a particular mark on a pan that I have. It is an 8 inch skillet with a raised number eight on the top handle and on the bottom there is a heat ring around the outside and the only marked on the inside is a Y just above where the handle comes out on the bottom of the skillet.

The raised size number on the top of the handle and the raised molder's mark at 6 o'clock suggest Lodge. Lodge's first inset heat ring skillets did not have the notch or notches they later would, but those "no-notch" are typically seen marked with the Lodge in an arc at 12 o'clock and not quite the same handle as yours.

Thanks for the quick reply, every piece of info helps!

Some of my no break heat rings have the arc LODGE, some don't. The underside of that handle is way different though.

I don't think that skillet was made by Lodge. Looks like no Lodge I have ever seen.

That is what the gentleman at lodge said too. I guess I am back at square one? :tasty:
