Need help identifying this unmarked roughly 6" CI? Any idea of age and manufacturer?

I suppose you could show us a pic of the back, but if there are no markings anywhere on the pan, I'm not sure how anyone would identify it.

"YUP. That's cast iron." was my first thought.

Skillet. Cast iron skillet. That was my assertion.

Looks like a 6" but there's nothing to compare scale. I'm new to Lemmy, do we do bananas here?

Picture of the underside would be useful. Is there a fire ring? What does that look like? Cast iron can often be identified by the handle design, too, that one looks vaguely like the Red Mountain that I have ... but not quite. And the sides look a bit too tall for what I've seen.

Have you seen those guys who identify places around the globe with only a split second view of somewhere on google maps? Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Do I have that way? No, but the internet be crazy good at identifying shit.
