Looks like I just became a Cast Iron Collector. We're about to tear down my in-laws 100 yr old abandoned farm house. So I got to digging through a back porch closet and came up with skillets. Is this Griswold Skillet also a Lid for the Fryer (marked with P)? 48 hrs ago I had never heard of Griswold or ERIE.. Unfortunately I tend to go overboard collecting things. lol The skillet-lid has dirt from dirt dobber nest on it.

Nope, sorry. That's a Birmingham Stove and Range (BSR) Century, post 1954. The one on the right with a heat ring is probably a Wagner unmarked. Can't see enough to really tell.
All unmarked smooth bottom Wagners with the "XX INCH SkILLET" markings have what is called the "late handle". Also described at: https://www.castironcollector.com/unmarked.php Griswold changed to a similar handle shape mid-way into their SBL skillets.
