Possible ID on skillet?

[DonnaM]

Does anyone have any idea who made this skillet and when? The 7 on the handle and the A on the back are both raised. The heat ring in inset.

Thanks---

^^^ what he said ^^^

I have one just like it and use it several times a week. It's one of my favorites!

COOL! I have been wanting one of those but didn't know how to recognize it! According to the resource section (no-name ID), single-notch Lodge skillets dated in the 30's; would the no-notch pans date early 30's then? Or when?

1930s¹
- Skillets have inset heat ring with single notch opposite handle at 12 o'clock.
- Raised size number on top of handle or ¾" high size number at 12 o'clock
- Raised small molder's mark letter at 6 o'clock
- Some earlier "no-notch" patterns were re-purposed, but otherwise have the same characteristics

Thank you, Doug. I wasn't sure if this line meant earlier than 1930's or early in the 1930's. :icon_thumbsup:
