What is a "hammered ugly" #3 cast iron egg skillet? Maker Unknown, great for...
Our full catalog, cleaning and care instructions, and more can be found at www.castandclarabell.com/pages/cacb
If you‘ve ever owned a hammered vintage piece, you know that the finish is hard to beat. Many of the big names made unmarked CI pieces for department stores, and the hammered finish remains incredibly popular. This particular skillet is called a "hammered ugly" pattern from the way it was roughly indented to show the design. These are unknown in origin but they were made in sizes 3,5,8, dutch oven #8 and a chicken fryer with lid. Very cool and very mysterious! It does not sit flat so best for gas or electric coil stoves.
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
