Ok, I missed it, sorry.  I liked the pans showm but for that amount,
I'm happy with my lodge and the really old pan with no dicernable
markings left over lord knows how long of use.  There used to be
'something' on the bottom but no longer dicipherable.

Could have been outdoor use a long time over rocks or in the
brick/stone bottom of a fireplace?
