Auction Find Identification

A friend of mine obtained these skillets in an auction for $30 winning bid. I would have given that for just the #10 Block Griswold in a heartbeat. If it's the one I think it is (pg. 13 of BB, 3rd photo down) value is at $60-$80.

The other one has me purplexed. It has an incised #2 on bottom of handle but the size looks more like a #5 (8-1/4" top, 6-1/2" bottom). Plus, I've never seen this handle before. Almost looks upside down. Any idea of what it is, circa and value? Was thinking possible import?

The 3rd item (no pic) in the lot was a Korean DO which she'll clean up and sell for whatever she can get.

 
I was afraid of that. But even still, the $30 paid for the 3 was worth it just to get the #10 Griswold. Is it the one I'm identifying it as in the BB?
 
Thanks Ken & Ty. My friend is tickled to death she got it for the price she did. She's in the Northern Alabama area and as much as she looks never finds any Griswold. BSR all over the place though. I had an older guy I had met at a thrift shop and gave my # to, in case he ever had any cast iron come in, give me a call today. Said he had 2 skillets that were big and one said made in PA. Of course I had to meet with him right away. It was a Griswold #9 block EPU with heat ring. Not much crud and no rust. Wanted it bad and could get it cheap....until I saw the crack next to the spout. My heart sunk. :( I did however buy his #10 unmarked Wagner post-1960 for $5 which is in very good condition. Will be a good user for a friend or family member. Thinking of that crack still makes me want to cry. I knew he'd take $10 for it.
