Help with ID

[KJRigden]

The first two are bottom and top of a gate marked griddle. No other markings. No notches on skillet ring. Any ideas?

Skillet is BSR Red Mountain. Gate marked pieces with no other identifying marks are pretty much impossible to ID.

Does the handle shape on the skillet help?

The skillet does have an "8" at 6 o'clock.

The under side of the handle on the skillet is one of the defining characteristics that it's BSR.

Kevin is right, Skillet = BSR and the Gate Marked Griddle = ??? There were hundreds of small foundries in the late 1800s to early 1900s and they didn't mark their work. Just rest in the knowledge that you own a piece of history

The " grey book" or early American cast iron holloware book...dates skillets and griddles with a handle design similar to yours somewhere between 1860- 1890. Here's my shallow skillet.
