Need help Identifying

[Roland Clark]

Anybody have an idea on the Foundry this may have come from?
Bottom gate mark. 14 bail handled griddle. H D on bottom.
I'm thinking local to me (Albany, New York).
This is the second one I have come across. the other one is identical, except it has H C on the bottom. Both in decent shape. No cracks or wobble.

Thanks for any help

Old bottom gatemarked pieces with no markings as to maker name are just not identifiable. But we can be confident that HC probably knew HD from work, and if they were still alive they could tell us where that was.

Thanks.
I kinda figured that, but worth a shot
Ill just use them both so I don't offend if they are still around.
