Hello people! I've used this website several times over the years to identify CI I've found and restored. This is the first time I've posted a new thread for one that has me stumped.
It's 9" diameter on top, tapering to 7 3/4" on bottom. It has characteristics that tells me it's old, but the condition is excellent. Very little seasoning build-up, just a slight brownish tint toward the top. Someone did a good job of restoring it in the past, since when I removed the thin layer of seasoning using the Self-cleaning oven method, I found in chalk on the bottom "$2.80". And I thought I had a good deal!
The bail has no dents, bends, or tool marks. No pitting inside.
The grinder marks along the edges are very sharp, so the condition looks either very little use and/or very well cared for.
It has a flat bottom and well-preserved numbers 7 and 3 at twelve o'clock. Those are the only marks I've found.
The external heat ring and slight bulge on bottom outsides looks like early work, designed for wood stoves. Unfortunately, it has no lid.
Anyone have any ideas?
