![]() I’m guessing it’s a very old Lodge from what I've seen but obviously wanted some expert opinions on what you all think. Any thoughts on how old, who made it or it’s value? If it’s as old as I think it is, would you clean it up and use it or leave it alone? Thanks for any input. https://imgur.com/a/ZAtrh3d |

Welcome to the site you will never be the same now since you have an intrest in iron now.
I am pretty confident that is not a lodge. I cannot positively id it, but Doug will likely be along soon. He knows more than just about anyone on here. As far as cleaning it, If you are unsure of the skillets origin it is typically recommended to strip it and re season before use. |

This pan falls into the realm of what many assume (or hope) is a Blacklock, the predecessor of Lodge. The RB shows a substantially similar pan along with verbiage that might make one infer it is a Blacklock, although it doesn't explicitly say that. The pan shown in the book differs only slightly in that it has a single, smaller molder's mark letter like early Lodges have. Nevertheless, pans like this with the larger double letters have been lumped together into the "possible Blacklock" category. But since there have never been any skillets marked Blacklock to compare it to, and Lodge apparently didn't keep anything for posterity's sake, we'll likely never know for absolute certain.
