Cast iron skillet marked "HT"

[dudleeey]

I came across a cast iron pan at a garage sale marked "HT" on the bottom. Can't find much online about it. Looks vintage and not like the usual import stuff. Anyone ever run into one like this or know the origin? I'm not really familiar with it despite having owned plenty of brands.

I think the initials belong to the molder who cast the pan. Some speculate a link to the Blacklock foundry, but it hasn't been confirmed 100%

Why do you think it might be vintage, does it have a certain weight, finish, or casting style that stands out compared to the more common pans you've used?

It could be from some obscure foundry or maybe even a store brand. Do you see any heat rings or gate marks on the bottom? How's the casting quality, does it feel smooth or kind of rough? These details could really help us figure things out.
