Id help? Raised #7 skillet BSR?

[SteveMottmiller]

I have this skillet that was given to me a while back and I thought it was a blacklock pre lodge based on the #7 until I got to reading about them more. Now I can't seem to find out what it is. It doesn't look like any BSR's i have and I've never seen another one like it, other than a couple #8's on ebay claiming blacklocks. handle and heat ring isn't right for a blacklock. It doesn't resemble any BSR's i've seen. No interest in selling it because it has a minor crack in it, just curious as its one of my better cookers.

Raised #7 on handle. raised "F" molders mark. No breaks in the inset heat ring

I would call that a very early Lodge. Not so much the "Blacklock" that people talk about, although this is an example of one of the pieces that seems to connect the Blacklock pieces to the Lodge pieces.
