I just started using cast iron pans and found this in an old trailer house on my sisters new property. I'm looking forward to learning more about cast iron cooking. So far I have...

#10 that has an "R" on the bottom
#8 Griswold with 704 E on the bottom
Corn bread pan with 27 C on the bottom
#5 with a Y on the bottom
#5 Griswold with 724 on the bottom
#5 Griswold with A 724 on the bottom
8 1/2 with what appears to be an A on the bottom

The 8-1/2 is an unmarked Favorite Piqua Ware chicken fryer. You can see where the TM was removed at the 12 o'clock position. Lids for them were marked the same, so they would not be confused with regular #8 skillet lids.

Shown in this catalog ad:

The catalog is supposedly from 1939, which would be after Favorite Piqua closed and Chicago Hardware Foundry bought their patterns, so yours may be CHF.
