Help Identifying 4 1/2 inch or number 4?

[Dan B.]

Not sure what this might be, toy, ash tray or real cooking skillet?

Thank you

Counterfeit Griswold toy skillet. The 4 is a gang mold identifier. Real Griswold Toy skillets are size "0". There are multiple genuine versions with different handles corresponding to updates Griswold made to their full size skillets.

See https://www.castironcollector.com/fakes.php#0skilletfake Your version is seen in image 6 of 13.
