Small skillet identification

[DavidLCarrington]

I have this small skillet I cannot identify, maybe someone can help , I have just started collecting and found this in my cabinet, it has notches in the fire ring at 9 and 12, a small 2 under the 12 notch with a big 5 under that, above the six position the letters BM, Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Almost certain to be Lodge. It should also have a notch at 3 o'clock.

It does have the 3 rd notch , it took much cleaning to get to that , Any idea on the BM letters

Just a pattern identifier, to distinguish what pans' molds were made from which of multiple patterns.

See: http://www.castironcollector.com/numbers.php for more info on what purpose those various numbers and letters serve.
