Turks head ID help

[Kyle S.]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any info on this turks head pan? It has a raised mark on each handle. One looks like an A and the other looks like a 10 or a 1D. Thee pictures aren't great but it is already in the LYE so sorry. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a Lodge. Compare it to the picture under the Lodge section on the gen pan page (#19?)

I cant believe I missed that! I think you are right. I wonder hold old it is? Any thoughts Spurgeon?

Sorry. No clue, other than the open frame is older than the closed frame.

Anyone know the approximate dates on this Turks head pan. I want to give it to my brother for Christmas and I want to give him as much info as possible.
Thanks,
Kyle

Lodge made this pan, a #19, for a long time, 1916-1950 according to the RB. Catalogs show the pan in this design was available at least up to the late 1960s. Catalogs through the 1940s represent the pan as being open frame design. Catalogs from the 50s and 60s have the illustration altered such that one might infer it to be closed frame. At some point, the design was changed to something more like Griswold's turk's head pans.
