Hi All:
First, I am new to cast iron collection and new to this site. I hope this is posted correctly.
I recently bought an unmarked #5 skillet that I believe to be a Lodge. It has the typical Lodge identifiers: 3 notches in the heat ring, large 5 at 12, and tear drop handle. . However, it has some identifiers that I have not seen to be typical: an L at 6 and a 2 on the bottom of the handle. I have attached photos. The cooking surface is completely smooth if that matters. Is this a Lodge and when could it have been made?
Thank you for any help that can be provided.
