My grandmothers' CI skillets brought me here. A couple of them I've already ID'd, but there are a few I'm still trying to figure out. Have cleaned them up and seasoned them and have truly enjoyed learning to cook with them rather than teflon. Nice to feel that connection as they both have been gone for many years now.

The cornbread skillet I'm thinking is a 1967 BSR. On the back it says "Cornbread Skillet" at the top and "Pat. Pending" at the bottom.
Two that I'm having trouble with are below. First one has a notch in the heat ring at 12:00, a small raised "B" at 6:00 with what looks like an incised "11" underneath (and possibly a ghostmarked "5" at 12:00?).
The second one has an "8" on the top of the handle and what looks like a "188" or "881" on the bottom of the pan. Handle is somewhat more stylized than others. No notches in the heat ring.
All help appreciated!
