This piece was made in the earlier days of Griswold manufacturing. They started making the round griddles, both bald and handled, in the early 1910s. This piece with the Slant logo and the Erie and not the full Erie PA USA markings is dated to be one of the earlier, just as the company switched from the Erie logo to the iconic Cross logo.  The bale griddles started at size 10 and went up as high as 16. The handled griddles started at a size 6 and went up to a size 10. This is a great piece to use on the stove top or out on the campfire to make smaller pizzas but also to make quesadillas or even eggs and bacon in the morning. It sits flat on glass. 

Price to sell: This item is priced to sell because there was some rusting on the surface that created a little bit of etching after it was fully restored and the bottom was used over a wood stove. There's the traditional sulfur pitting found in these very early pieces. There is no damage to it. It just over time has had some more extensive surface wear so we've reduced the price accordingly. 

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
