Picked it up for a song recently. I suspect it to be a BSR but it's kind of weird. Also, why is it so clean and skinny? It looks like aluminum but it's labeled as CI.

Can I just say you guys are amazing for identifying a pan, of all things, from this.

I've got a lodge. If anyone ground off the logo - I'd never be able to tell!

I’ve been at this for over a decade and while I’m am by no means an expert you’d be surprised at how quickly you’ll start noticing subtle differences and eccentricities in pans from different manufacturers.

This pan for example is definitely a griswold. One can tell from a mile off from the letter typeface on the handle which is classic griswold. Seeing the bottom text and typeface sealed it. Hope this helped :)
