Nathan, you can edit the size of the pictures after they are uploaded to Imgur, but only on the desktop version. I upload them from my phone and wait j till I get home to resize them and post them here.
As for the skillet, I'm a huge fan of raised numbers on the handle. I don't think this is a Lodge (unless they played around with their handle design after they rebuilt the plant). I have a similar number 8. All I know is that there are skillets which share a few characteristics, but are obviously made by a different foundry. Here's my theory ... as the population moved around the country they took their knowledge with them. For example, from around 1900 to 1925 my grandfather moved from North Carolina to South Carolina to Georgia and finally settled down for good in Alabama. If he had been in the business of making holloware molds, you would have seen similar designs in skillets across four states.
