3 notch Lodge with a raised identifier above size number is likely 1940-50s.

I thought they were doing SK Mark's by the 50s?

Yes, SK mark started in the 50s, but there were skillets made prior to these that lacked SK in the 50s as well.

Sounds right to me! I don't know if theres any good indicator for where 3 notches fall in the 30-50s other than lacking the made in Usa or the SK/DO insicements

Thanks for the help guys! I ended up passing on it though. They had a smaller Wagner that will be a great addition to my daily drivers & an old Griswold 14" round skillet (with a wire type handle) instead. I'll post pics soon!
