Cast iron I.D. help

I found a 10 inch grill pan at the flea market today, the only markings are " made in the USA" on the back, and the letter or Roman numeral "V" on the underside of the handle. It is my understanding that Lodge is the only American producer of cast iron since the '70's or so. I can't get a decent pic of the markings due to poor lighting and an iphone, I would just like to know the maker so when I pass it on to whomever, they have information.

The other most common brand is Griswold.

Wagner is another American brand of cast iron.

Good catch, don't own any Wagner. Forgot about that one. I do all our cooking. 99% is grilled or cast iron. Between cured and enamelled, I probably have 20 pieces, including the largest pot Le Cruset makes (which is absolutely HUGE!). One day, I really want that 17" camp skillet Lodge has. That thing is a beast!
