Need help identifying and value

I think you guys are magicians!
Finding it is a samovar... WITH ONLY AN UPSIDE DOWN PIC OF A MARK, and no hints nor answers to your questions
Next newbie will post a pic of a mystery to identify (and... VALUE) in a dark room while shaking the camera to test your skills

 

(and if you google THC you get something else entirely)

 

I want to know if he found some old Griswold skillets in the house !

 

But they seemed to have dents in them for some reason.

 

El Rayo X-I like the pic !

 

I have a 12" Griswold skillet that I use everyday!
Made in sometime between 1939-1957, built to last!

 

Great detective skills Sherlock, uhmmm, @IvaPan .

Haven't we already had some of those?

 

We are so until the topic starter proves the opposite
Actually, no mystery here. The mark is clearly upside down. Search T.Ю. mark in Russian and the forum where this mark is discussed pops up, and it is about this mark put on a samovar. It is actually T.K. but someone had also taken it for Ю as I did, it indeed looks like Ю, and the guy was corrected by the knowledgeable there. Then the only picture here looks like the base of a samovar, Johnny suggested it, too. Indeed, the factory produced also pots and pans, and other metal stuff, so there is a chance it is not a samovar, I must admit. But as far as I understood from the discussion and from the research I did, this specific mark was put mainly on the bases of samovars, a different one was used on the other stuff. However, whatever the thing is, it was made by Kolchugin Factory in tsarist Russia between 1871 (when the factory started working) and 1918 (when the factory was nationalised, changed name and started using another mark).

 

Challenge accepted!

 

Thank you, Any! Actually, it was an easy one as someone had asked about it before, and the discussion is online. Which is not always the case.

 

That's a lot of skillet. Do you cook on a wood fired stove?

 

Yikes! That's a typo!
It's a 12" skillet!

 

Hi, @Robert Griswold and Welcome to Antiquers! We'd love to see a photo of the whole samovar -- Or whatever it is!

 

The heads or the skillets......
