ID these?

[KenH]

Hello ya'll, I've been an avid lurker on the forum for a while and have learned a good bit. Examining some of my cast iron I find these two and wonder if anybody can help with ID'ing them - age, possible value? The first one is Made in USA, but I don't see the manufacture. Any idea of age?

This next one is little square skillet with "Old Mountain", and the image of a mountain cast into the bottom. Any ideas of this one -age, etc?

Thanks to all for any info

The first one looks like a Birmingham Stove & Range century series skillet, likely from the 1960s or 1970s.
BSR didn't always mark their pieces with their name, but the style of the markings is a giveaway.
These are good quality, solid pieces of iron.
Value depends on condition, but a clean one can go for $30-50, and sometimes even more!
The square skillet with "Old Mountain" on the bottom isn't vintage.
It's a modern piece, not collectible, so it doesn't hold much value.
I mean it's actually a good piece to use for cooking so you don't have to worry about damaging a collectible!

Thank you for the info - Until I found this site I'd never really given cast iron cookware much thought, just used it all my life. Well, other than Lodge that's made in South Pittsburgh, TN and that was only because I lived in Stevenson, AL for a yr which is next door to South Pittsburgh and learned about Lodge at the time.

This is a great site. Ken H>
