Miller, thanks for the correction. I have an unbranded one on the grill as well as a Lodge. I use a Lodge 5 quart Dutch oven for one pot meals. I have my great-grandmother's unbranded large skillet and a smaller one by Wagner Ware, 10.5". I am done with using "non-stick" coated skillets of which water is eventually the only substance that won't stick. Lodge is still the cheapest around, but it takes some elbow grease to remove the pebbly finish on the modern editions. There has been a resurgence of smaller foundries making lighter, smooth-surfaced skillets such as Field which makes a beautiful cast iron skillet and is priced on the lower end of "boutique" skillets. I use the "corn pone" pan for grilled sandwiches and French toast. Anything that doesn't splatter when cooking. Gil

Dukxdog, that's a fine Daly! Your first picture made me cringe seeing the gun posed on a pile of rocks; then I saw the padding. That's the way to do it...Geo

Gil; Can't prove if it is true or not but recently I read an explanation on the rough finish of most new cast iron. Seems as in the old days the sand mold was given a surface coat of extremely fine sand which gave a smooth finish as cast. Some law now says they cannot use that sand. Apparently, those smaller foundries such as the Field you mention are simply devoting a lot more time in smoothing the finish than Lodge does. I have a 9˝" unmarked skillet which is very smooth. The only mark on it is a cast in 7 in a triangle at the base of the handle. Somewhere I did find that the 7 denotes the size of the ring on the bottom, thus the size of the opening it was made for on a wood cook stove. This one checks out exactly. I use this skillet almost every morning in cooking breakfast. For some years now since I retired, I cook breakfast every morning & my Wife does the rest of the cooking. We both like using cast iron.

Some of the finest cast iron griddles, frying pans and dutch ovens were made by Griswold. They've been making cast iron cookware since the 1860s, and I think they're still in business. Fine cookware. Unique trademark using a cross inside a circle.

Dukxdog, is that a Lindner? Yes, made in 1912.

I found this on Griswold;
Griswold Manufacturing. Griswold Manufacturing (/ˈɡrɪzwɔːld, -wəld/) was an American manufacturer of cast iron home products founded in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 1865 that finally closed in 1957. For many years the company had a worldwide reputation for high-quality cast-iron cookware.
For a number of years Lodge was known as the only US foundry still making cast iron cookware. There are now several smaller companies in competition with them.
Lodge catalogs what we called the Cornbread Baker as a Griddle. Many local names abound. There is now a differential between a Camp Dutch Oven & a Dutch Oven. What they call a Camp Dutch Oven I always just called a Dutch Oven. Their Dutch Oven without the provisions for putting coals on the lid we called a Bean Pot.
