Just curious if anyone ever has seen any cast iron from Smith Bros Hardware in Columbus Ohio ? I have a axe head and a Barlow type pocket knife that is branded from there? I’ll add pics soon
 
I'm not familiar with any CI cookware with their markings. As a hardware distributor, they likely sold either brand name pans or the unmarked versions made by those brands for sale in market channels such as hardware or department stores. Private labeling was more often seen by chain household goods retailers e.g. Montgomery Ward (Wardway), Sears (Puritan, Merit), Eaton's in Canada.
