What a cool find!!  Vollrath manufacturing has been making cookware for both gourmet and commercial kitchens for over 100 years. Their cast iron lines featured primarily their marked and unmarked skillets as well as other pieces, and are known to be slightly heavier than the other vintage pans. 

This smooth bottom #12 is a tough one to come by. It does NOT sit flat so while it doesnt spin, it will move on glass.   The smooth bottom varieties of Vollrath were not made in large qauntities.  There are far more heat ring marked and unmarked versions.  This #12 is gorgeous.   While they weigh slightly more than Griswold and Wagner, they are still very much lighter than modern cast iron, and have a fantastically smooth surface. Our skillets are restored and seasoned three times with beef tallow, and will arrive ready to use. The skillets darken with each use and will work into a deep dark finish. 


DISCLAIMER: We have prepared this piece to be ready to use or displayed in a collection. All pieces are vintage, and therefore are not in perfect condition. Their history of use means small marks and inconsistencies, including residual carbon, which we feel give them a special charm. All items are sold as is, and we have done our best to present them as such. Please review all pictures and ask for further clarification if needed. Thank you! - Cast & Clara Bell
