#7 SMS Maybe

Came across this #7 "Southern Mystery Skillet" (SMS) over the weekend. came home and did my research and came up empty handed. The location of the raised 7 is on the bottom side of the handle just below the tear-drop opening. Have never before seen a skillet marked in such a manor but I am relative new as a collector as compared to the age of these cast iron pieces. I have one other piece of C.I. that resembles this handle design as per the shape and it is the #9 "The Favorite" which I did a post on 2-5-2016. I am attaching only one image at this time for possibly a positive I.D.

More in common with a 1st series Erie from what I can see. A copy from one, though.
 
What are referred to as SMS skillets have inset heat rings and pour spouts unusually small for as old as they appear to be.
