If you haven‘t seen a "ghost marking" on a vintage or antique skillet, you should check out this Wapak #8 Cast Iron Skillet! Back when these skillets were made, one of the most expensive parts of the casting process was the patterns that were used to hand manufacture them. Wapak‘s, made in Ohio in the 1900‘s were known for their reuse of patterns, and often as a result a "ghost" mark, a faint indicator of who originally created the pattern would emerge. The center of the pan has a distinct 704 code from a 3rd series Erie and the ERIE arc logo is visible as well! Ready for use or for to display. It sits flat and does not spin, which is not common for Wapak. A great storyteller skillet to own!
