Identifying skillets?

Have attached two pics (I hope) of skillets, hoping someone can identify the make from the mark below the stamp saying "6 inch skillet". I bought a set of three ( six, eight and ten inches) for a pound from the shop on a refuse dump site. Unusual find in UK. The mark looks like an elephant possibly. Am planning to clean them up and re season.

The pic with the mark has disappeared. Will post it shortly.

The one with the mark has come through, so here is the other pic. The two larger ones have lids.

I found a whole set--different sizes-- of these years ago at a yardsale and they were in a box for $2. I do not remember the name on the box, but I believe it they were made Taiwan.

Thank you for responding. Were they OK in use? They seem very heavy and look as though the surface is smoother than my Lodge Dutch oven.

I never used mine, I resold them years later, But I am sure they would be fine to cook in!

They're off brand, but no worries. Clean them up and they'll be safe to use. I've got an off brand i bought at an auction for $2 I've used for years. I like it better than my brand new Lodge skillets.

Thosse giant handles would be nice for campfire use. But they would really be in the way on most cooktops to use more than 1 at a time!

I have a set like that and use them all the time. I like the wooden handles and not having to use a hot pad. I bought mine at a yard sale and after cleaning them thoroughly I seasoned them by deep frying in each one.
