Wapak Handles

Is there a way to date a Wapak by the design of the handle? I own a few of them, and I see at least 3 different handle designs, only minor changes. But enough to say they are different designs. I was just curious? any help?
 
Here are 3 examples of different handles. I have a 4th one to, its like the 2nd pic, but no "line" cut into the handle. But it has a small rib going towards the end of the handle.

I think the difference in Wapak handles (other than the Indian skillets) is more about which other companies' pans were copied to use as patterns, rather than any progression of Wapak design.
 
My #10 griddle has what I call a teardrop handle. its different than the others, and pointy at the end. Any ideas there? or same thing?
