Is This a Crack?

[NLee]

This forum is very helpful and I’ve got another question.

I Found this for not a lot of money and figured I’d give it a shot. Does the close up show a crack? If so, is this unusable?

Thank you for your time!

Cracks are normally seen in the sidewalls of skillets, from the top edge down. A crack in the bottom that didn't also continue up the sidewall would be unlikely.

does it also show up on the inside of the skillet? As Doug mentioned a crack in just that location would be unusual. It looks like a great skillet and should be very usable

Thanks for the help! No it doesn’t appear on the other side so I’m thinking it’s ok. It’s a great pan. Pretty light weight compared to other ones I have.

Thanks again!
