National number 9

[SShort]

I am having trouble finding another National skillet with this small logo. I can find ones with the larger logos. Can anybody give me any information about this particular logo as far as age or anything else.

There are quite a variety of marking styles on National skillets. Yours, without the dual logo and with the size number on the bottom, would necessarily be ca. 1890s to early 1920s. Large letter "high arc" versions appear to exist, but it always seems the one you're looking for is the one you can't find. I have the dual logo small letter 8 and 9, but have yet to come up with a 7 to match.
