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.

It seems like the FDA has approved nickel plating for cooking, with the worst of it being for those who are allergic to nickel (like myself!). I am going to put at least two layers of seasoning over it. I imagine it shouldn't be a problem, but at the very least I'll talk to the customer about it before I sell.

It definitely had its seasoning completely removed. It also looks like someone gave the handle a mirror finish? Who did this to you?

Did they seriously grind off the griswold logo? Would be a really nice find in better condition. Should still work great.

Damn, nice job. I mean I got it for $30, I'm not complaining. I was going to try to flip it for $45-50.
It's so weird, the bottom. It almost looks like they tried to grind away the logo and bottom text or something. Deep gouges in the metal

It might have some kind of coating and was only used decoratively. Make sure you give it a good scrubbing if you plan to cook with it.

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 :)

How much does it weigh?

That's a Griswold, The bottom is in bad shape, but it probably still cooks well (after getting it cleaned up and seasoned). Similar pan but different size

This is a nickel plated griswold. Nickel plating is something they did at the factory on some skillets because there was some section of the population back then who were obsessed with nickel plating.
As far as the center logo being gone, there was a time when natural gas piped to the home wasn’t as refined and still had sulfur in it and during combustion it produced a minute amount of sulfuric acid which over time caused pitting in the bottom of skillets
