Back when I was young and poor, flea markets and estate sales were the places to go to find things I needed, for a lot less than you could buy new. My wife and I had a ragtag assortment of pots and pans, mostly castoffs from relatives. We bought a few expensive pieces, and realized that cast iron could be had for a dollar or two, cooked great, and lasted forever if taken care of. These were my "go to" pans for years. They are mostly retired now because my wife insists on over cleaning them, and ruined the seasoning a few times. I still take them out on occasion, wipe them off and put them back before she gets in the kitchen.
The "Skillet Griddle" was one of my first finds. Lots of unhealthy breakfasts cooked in it. I have no idea who made it.
The Griswold I found at a flea market, before I really knew much about collectable CI. That one made a lot of fried chicken.
The smaller skillet I got cheap, and if I were to make a guess, maybe BSR? I got it to use in place of the Griswold, when I wanted something smaller and lighter.
I have a few more kicking around including a Griswold square egg pan, and a few others I can't put my hands on at the moment.
They all need some cleaning and seasoning, but since I've been using them for 40 years or more, I'm not in a hurry.
