Question About Lodge.

A 10 SK lodge with helper handle with lodge cast into it, fried egg in the bottom but smooth as glass. What's its likely date of manufacture - I was of the impression the helper handle and fried egg etc etc was 85 or so, and they got rough about 92 or so. However no idea on when the Lodge on the helper handle appeared, I have a pan with a helper handle and no lodge on it that's smooth also.
Thought the Lodge on the helper handle was around 92 when they also went rough.
But this is smooth with lodge on helper handle - yea sure someone could have gone nuts sanding it. AKA someone like me.
 
1987-1993 only the 14 had an assist handle. After that, the 8, 10, 12 and 14 did. No info on when marking the handle started, although catalogs don't seem to conclusively show that until about after 2010.
 
OMG. OK I have a smooth 10sk and a rougher 10sk with lodge on the handle and the fried egg lodge logo on the bottom. I guess they made em smooth or someone smoothed one of these. And likely the rough one also was smoothed a bit, just not the same extent as the "smooth" one.
