Is this a butter mark?

Is that a butter mark next to the single notch? If yes, any idea what they may have buttered out?

Am I wrong that this is a single-notch Lodge?? The number seems like it should be up there where buttery-looking space is... :icon_scratchchin:

Donna, I have #8 just like that! My guess is our pans were made with the Lodge arc logo and then it was buttered out. Maybe the logo didn't turn out right? Or maybe the shift foreman walked in after our skillets were made and said, "Dangit boys! I told you this morning ... we're not putting the logo on the skillets anymore! Fix it!"

In situations like this it is either the pattern or mold that is altered or "buttered" not the skillet so your pieces never would have had the logo on them. In your scenario the foreman would have walked in and ordered the change BEFORE your skillets were made not after.
 
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that's the way they did it. So, it must have gone like this ...

"Hey Bubba, boss man wants us to take the logo off."

"But I gotta get a shipment out today. I ain't got time to make new molds!"

"Then just butter over the logo on the molds you have and go with it."

"Ok."
 
The logo in the molds would be raised. Buttering over the logo would have been done to the pattern. Bubba would have known that, and probably paid no attention to the foreman.
