Made in USA

[PeterStrauss]

Did any manufacturer place the made in USA prior to 1960? I have what appears to be a large skillet with a 3 notch heat ring (lodge?), but it has a Made in USA in the middle of the pan. I thought that heat ring went out of fashion in the early 1950s

Lodge skillets had traditional inset heat rings until 1993, when the design changed to what amounted to a recessed bottom. Their placing Made In USA on them appears to have started in 1965. I can't think of any other that did prior to the early 1960s.
