Received two pieces, and after cleaning them and reseasoning them, realized there were no markings to identify with. Just looking to see if I can find some info on them as it would be interesting to see how long we've had them in the family for (grandparents remember being given them by their parents, but that's as far back as I can get along that line).
Being unmarked, I'm going with pre-1960, and given the lack of heat ring and the side gating probably post-1920. A cousin floated the idea that they may be unmarked Griswold/Wagner pieces made for low end stores such as Sears/Roebuck, around 1930-40's.
They're lightweight, the larger piece is more lightweight, both are side gated, and the only distinctive feature I can really notice is the thicker banded lip and the notch on top of the handle's throat.
Any help ID'ing would be appreciated. Regardless, they cleaned up well, seasoned wonderfully, and though I had to run to work before getting a second initial seasoning coat on, they cooked sirloin rounds and eggs just great once I got home, so they work just great.
