Three Different Diamond Patterns?

[SShort]

I was wondering if all three of the skillets were made by the same manufacturer. They seem to have differences in patterns. All three handles are different. The no. 5 and no. 8 handles have a similar ridge that reaches to the skillet but other than that they are different. The no. 8 has a line under the diamond and the others do not. The no. 7 has a completely different handle all together.

I think the general consensus is that the 'number in diamond' pans were either late Favorite Piqua pans or CHF pans (after they acquired Favorite). I have no idea on the timeframe for when these were made... I have seen some that are almost identical to marked Favorite Piqua smileys.

Also, Favorite had quite a bit of variation in their handles from one size to the other.
