so i need some help with these three. I think the first one is may be a older lodge but i cant find any information with an R at the bottom it also appears to have two notches on the underside of the handle

The other ones are griddles i got from a friend who bought them at an auction the best part of these two was the price FREE. The first one has a 9 NG at the top and a D at 6 o'clock it is in pretty good shape these pics are after the lye tank for about three days

The third is the reason i got the griddles in the first place. It has what i believe to be a gate mark that I cold see through the gunk that was on it. Now after the lye tank and e tank it seems to be pitted pretty bad and the cooking surface has these places in it that i can only describe as the metal appears to have "moved" like it got hot and moved. There is also a Q on the bottom and what looks like a 7 on the handle. My second question on this one is it worth the time to continue to work on with all the pitting and the gouges on the cooking surface.

1 is a 3 notch Lodge. Going by the font it looks to be an older version of the 3 notch


2 is a Lodge New Griddle [NG] not sure what era this is


3 is a nice shallow skillet. How deep is it? Looks to be an 1.5" or so. Pretty much all gate marked items with no name, will remain nameless.

It is only about 5/8 in deep

so do you guys think that the smaller gate marked skillet is repairable. I've read about sanding out imperfections. is that a good idea

I see pitting on the outside and casting flow marks on the inside that aren't unusual for pans of that era (mid to late 1800s). The first you can't really do anything about, and the second isn't really anything to be repaired. Sanding it would only destroy its value.
