“Restored to perfection. This is my new daily pan.”

Restoration quality · ready to cookThe Western Foundry Co. was based in Chicago IL and had its early roots in the late 1800's. They made heavier pieces for the time, similar to newer Lodge pieces but had the custom smooth finish of a handmade skillet (unlike newer Lodge pans). Similar to Vollrath, they are very durable, transfer heat well and smoothly, and have a deep pan for volume. Perfect for stews, sauté's or frying. The Mi-Pet logo is a unique one, very large considering its competitors Griswold and Wagner. The pan sits flat, has been fully restored like all of our items, and is ready to use!
Perfect gift for a Chicago native and foodie, for the kitchen gourmand, or just for someone's personal collection!
