Hello everyone. I am new to this site. Thanks for including me. I was raised on iron cooking in the mountains of east Kentucky. My dad still has a cast iron skillet that he is wanting to learn about. His mother used to cook on it years ago when he was young. It is a number 16 and the only ID on it is Southern Casting Corp Nashville. I can find no info on it anywhere. My grandmother had it and I'm not sure when she acquired it. She was married in 1925 so it is possible she got it after that. However, she might have got it from her family. We just don't know. Any help dating this skillet would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
They are also an invaluable help in identifying pieces, especially since verbal descriptions usually don't include some minor but revealing details photos often can.
 
Ok. Thanks for the replies. I wanted to post a pic but don't have one as of right now. Will post one next time I visit my folks. Thanks
