Pre-Piqua Favorite skillet?

I inherited this skillet from my great, great aunt in Akron, OH. I received 2 Griswold slant EPU skillets and one labeled "The Favorite". All other skillets from Piqua Foundry that I've seen are labeled as so. Is this an early one or is it possible it could be from 1880-1888 when the foundry was still in Cincinnati? Any info would be helpful, see attached pics.

Pieces marked "The Favorite" were made by Columbus Hollow Ware Co. in OH. The foundry was located in a state penitentiary.
 
Info on the incorporation of the company puts it in business 1882 - ~ 1902. The style and markings of the skillet are consistent with late 19th/early 20th century.
