ID help from today's hunting

I'm a newbie trying to learn to identify iron better. A buddy and I went to a few places today and seen a lot of stuff, nothing followed me home, however here's a few pieces I'm curious on trying to identify and get an approx value. With your guys' help I'm getting much better at recognizing iron on the fly!

First one I believe from this website is a late Favorite or Chicago because of the number in the diamond, sound right? Value?

Second one I thought st first might be a real good find due to the relative rarity of #4's but when I couldn't find any representation of this in either the BB or RB, I got to thinking on the way home that it didn't say Erie, is this one of those Wagner made skillets? The handle and "7 inch skillet" tip me towards Wagner. If so there's not much value correct?

Found this bread roll pan, resembles a Wagner H, and a Erie no. 4 however it has no markings. The feet on the bottom are closer to the Erie, as the Wagner H is more solid all the way across where the Erie, and this no name pan both seem to have the legs fade out in the center. I'm assuming just a copy and probably not worth much?

The next two are Turks head pans-
First one strongly resembles griswold 130, on page 120 of the BB, only markings is a T or 1 on the backside of one handle, and this one has a hole in both ends instead of just one, I'm assuming another no name copy?

And finally another Turks head, this one resembles a Lodge on page 235 of RB, NO 19 muffin pan, but the book doesn't state whether they were gated or not, and this one is. Also I couldn't tell if the marking on the handle was a 10 or 19?

Thanks Doug, the one you call is an actual Lodge? I looked at the pic of the 19m2 and it shows made in USA where the one I found did not

So your saying the gate marked one is from a different foundry that copied the lodge 19?

What's so special about the bread pan? It has no markings, not sure of maker, and what would be a right price?
 
There was a time that the19M2 did not say Made In USA. You would have to tell me what the asking price was on the bread pan for me to tell you if I thought I could have gotten it for a price I was willing to pay.
 
So the lack of made in the USA on the 19m2 makes it older then? What's a fair price on this?

The bread pan was not marked and I didn't ask as I didn't see any markings, but the place is close I might go back tomorrow if it might be worth it to go

I guess I didn't understand, the gate marked 19 is a copy of a lodge then?
 
Copy, recast, non-original. The 19M2 is not a collectible; $10 maybe if I wanted as a user.
 
The bread pan was in a location that seemed out of place, I bet I can do ok on it, but I'm curious what that range might be, and also if it's identifiable
 
Unmarked, a positive ID may not be possible. I don't have a value for you other than to say if what they are asking is anywhere near what I'm willing to pay. You have to tell me what the asking price is for me to answer the question.
 
Jeffrey, I'd have gone for that bread pan; they are just not that common. Of course, as Doug says, the price makes or breaks the purchase. Hope you get a chance to buy it.

I can tell you that you got a good deal on your pan because as Sharon stated above they are not that common. I've purchased over 1000 pieces of iron "in the wild" and have only found 2 of these both with the "No.4" markings. Sold one for a nice profit and still have the other. Have seen a few others in listings for big auctions of peoples lifetime collections (500-1000 pcs.)
Value for yours probably less than ones with markings. Watch this listing and in 6 days you will know the value.

You never know with ebay but I'll take a guess and say $150-170.
