Description
This cast iron skillet was manufactured by the Lodge Manufacturing Co. of South Pittsburg, Tennessee. The item is made of sand-cast iron and features a traditional circular form with two integrated pour spouts on opposite sides of the rim. The handle is designed with a teardrop-shaped hanging hole. The base of the skillet features a raised three-notch heat ring, a design characteristic with breaks located at the 9, 12, and 3 o’clock positions relative to the handle. Several incised markings are present on the base, including the number 8, the letters SK, and the phrase MADE IN USA, which indicates a manufacturing date after the mid-1960s. Additionally, a single letter D is incised near the bottom edge of the base, and another number 8 is visible on the underside near the handle junction.
