Hello all, first post on here. I have some new cast iron but I recently got my hands on this old skillet which has sparked my interest. I read through the site info and looked at the pics trying to ID and date the thing, so I’m now partly educated and dangerous lol. The skillet has a raised “8” on the handle which is about 5/8” in size. The raised “CG” molders mark on the bottom is slightly bigger, almost 3/4“. Outside heat ring and no other markings from what I can tell. The hole in the handle has some rough edges. I haven’t cleaned it yet so I’m not sure if that’s just buildup, chipped or just the way it was made.
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.
