No Trump Pan?

I got a pretty decent deal on this pan the other day and I am hoping that it was made by Lodge. The casting is smooth and polished and the dimensions match those shown in the red book on page 236. The problem is mine does not have a molders mark. Would it be possible that some were made without the molders mark? https://imgur.com/a/pOrYYk6
 
The pan was made as far back as the 1930-40s, catalogued as a #26 then. It disappears from 1950s and 60s catalogs but then returned again sometime after that. In a 1990 catalog it is listed as a NTP2. I would expect pans made in that time frame not to have a molder's mark. It is also possible that in an earlier period, the pan was a low volume piece and didn't require multiple molders.
 
Thank you for the info. My e-tank is drained for the winter so I won't be able to restore it for a few months. I'm happy to have it and should clean up and display well.
