Lodge Cast Iron is an American tradition based in TN, and you know the heavier cast iron and rougher finish of new Lodges. But the vintage, pre-1960-s Lodge pans are lighter, smoother and easier to handle. PERFECT skillets for the kitchen enthusiast. This number 5 skillet sits flat and does not spin. It was made in the era of the "Blob" pieces, which are similar looking to a wax seal on an envelope. The P on this one is very clear and nice, being featured on the handle. It‘s cooking surface is in great shape and it‘s ready for you to use it for the next 100 years. It has been fully stripped and restored so it is ready to use when you get home!
