The two posts I think you hit the nail on the head! From the taper/ counter sink bottoms, they seem like they were made for fitting down into the burner hole on an old wood burning stove to create a better humid climate in the home, and not so dry. My Grandmother used to cook on a wood burning stove at the farm when we were kids. I was told you have to be a great cook, to time all of the dishes for 1 meal to get them to be cooked at the same time, For each burner is close to the same temperature! Ha!
Pots are curved, cauldrens have straight sides or slightly angled. We have confused the words in modern usage. a study of the etymology caused me cognative dissonance when i encountered the fact
I don’t know a lot about cast iron but I can tell the first small skillet is a BSR by the ridged handle and unbroken heat ring that bsr is known for. The Good Health (1920’s-30’s) is made by Griswold mfg co. and sold to department stores to sell as their house brand. Not highly collectible but a quality Griswold non the less.
