Mystery Long Griddle

[Bonnie Scott]

I found this long griddle on my Texas trip. I am having trouble identifying it. The raised number had me leaning toward Lodge. I found a picture of a hammered Lodge long griddle with the same kind of straight bars across the bottom. Is it Lodge or is it still a mystery?

Here is a picture of the hammered Lodge back.

Still a mystery to me. There are some obvious differences in the hammered Lodge and yours: handles, spacing of the ribs on the back, style and placement of the 8, lack of a molder's mark. Doesn't mean yours isn't a Lodge, but it certainly not the same as the hammered one.

Thanks Kevin, I noticed those difference also but was hoping for the best. Maybe it was the discount version. It sure has a rough cooking surface but that might be common for long griddles. I don't really know since this is the first one I have ever found. I know the SMS had raised numbers too so maybe this was one of those? Still a mystery to me too. :icon_scratchchin:
