Can Anyone Name This Old #12?

Bought this at an antique mall for $48. It has a minor spin, but is solid, no cracks, very little pitting.

Can anyone help with a brand name or approximate date?

The inner pan surface is smooth, not as smooth as a BSR/Wagner or Griswold, and it almost has a criss-cross pattern of lines. I tried to get a close up so you could see it.

thanks

1950s Lodge. Looks like someone cleaned the cooking surface with a power tool (or a wood chisel).
 
Thanks Doug.
I definitely see what you mean about the chisel pattern, that makes sense.

What from your perspective signified lodge from 50's? There weren't any notches.
Regardless thanks, still so much to learn in this hobby :)
 
I just looked at the number at 12 o'clock, and didn't notice the lack of notches. All else appears Lodge. I suppose an older, no-notch pattern could have been reworked to extend its usefulness. Larger skillet patterns were expensive to replace outright, so older characteristics are often seen on pans with newer markings.
