Hello all!
New to the boards. I have three skillets I picked up. A #9 broken ring Lodge, a #7 BSR and this last one I am not sure. It has a mark on the back of the handle, and what looks like a faint 7 on the top of the handle. There is a tiny 1 or something lower bottom back of the pot near the handle. If there are any marks they seem to be worn out. It seems like there might have been something on top but I'm not sure. Might be my eyes and wishful thinking. I've looked at many ebay photos and I just can't match it. The handle was the best shot and I've seen some similar but again am not sure. The handle on back may be slightly worn as well, its hard to tell.

I hope I add these photos correctly. Its like digging for buried treasure. I know its old, but I just can't figure out the marker. Any ideas? :D

The mold numbers imply it was made by a foundry, but they don't give any clue as to which. The smashed looking handle rib is reminiscent of those seen on what some want to call Blacklock, but other than an outside heat ring, the similarity stops there. Should make a fine user, though.
 
I think you may be right Doug. I hadn't heard of Blacklock, so I looked up a few and the handle is the closest match I've seen. I'll have to look up more info on Blacklock. Thanks! After 40 views and no responses, I figured this was a real mystery one. The only thing I was sure is that its probably really old. I think I paid 7 or 8 dollars for it so not to bad. Its thin and light. Can't wait to finish cleaning and seasoning it to give it a try.
 
Finding info on Blacklock will be a daunting task. Any info is an opinion. A lot of skillets are impossible to identify which sucks but is cool in the same token. You have a piece of history, thats for sure
