Loved the restored pan, nicely restored, saved me a lot of looking around for what I needed.
I researched every company around the world for the best Cast Iron available. I all companies either had a new Cast blend, not straight up Cast iron, which they did not lost what the iron was blended with, and they were all preseasoned with manufactured oils that were produced with crude oil products.
I am not eating crude oil products such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or seed oils.

Your website was easy to use, and full of photos of the cookware. Everything was perfect, from finding what I was looking for, adding it, and paying. All was seamless.
itβs gratifying to work with competent, customer centric small business owners. I appreciated th support and guidance with my selections, the fast delivery and very secure packaging to protect my new pieces !!
Plus a handwritten thank you note - canβt recall when I saw that level of customer service!
The purchase was very easy and the skillet was well protected to avoid damage. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their work.
I ordered a #8 Griswold. I am thoroughly impressed with the restoration of the skillet! Beautiful. Cooked 3 times in 3 days with it. SautΓ©ed veggies, Rib Eye, and bacon. The seasoning they did is great. No sticking, no issues. Also impressive was the care taken in packaging. Solidly packed with bubble wrap, foam, and peanuts. Did not move around in box. I cannot imagine what it would have taken to be damaged in shipping. Well done. There is obvious pride in these folks work. I'll buy again from them.
I needed to replace my Lodge 8β cast iron skillet I lost in our recent move to Birmingham AL & lo & behold I found a perfectly restored 8β skillet that was forged by Birmingham Stove & Range in the 1940βs!!!!! The restoration done was amazing and the price was fair. It was meticulously packed so it arrived safe & sound. This is THE go to store for all things vintage cast iron!!!!
This is my second purchase and I've just been so pleased with both. 5 stars.
Products always accurately described. Delivery prompt and secured for shipment.
I bought a BSR No 8 recently. Iβm very pleased with the condition. It was also very professionally packed to avoid damage. Iβll be buying more in the future! Thanks.
I also have 2 No. 8 with covers and 3 No. 14 unmarked skilletts in very good condition that I would be willing to trade if you would be interested. Please feel free to phone me if your interested. My number is [****]. Michael J. Brabender
I have number 3 through No,10 and No 14 Griswald cast iron pans and the matching covers except the cover for the No. 4 fry pan. I looking for that cover and No. 11. 12, 13, pans and covers. I would appreciate any help you could give me in securing these items. I would also like the No. 2 pan if you were to come across it.
I have been a Griswold collector for 20 + years. Always looking for a piece to add to my cookware cast iron. I donβt hang my pieces I use them daily. I picked up two pieces of Griswold cast iron specifically for breakfast dishes for myself. Couldnβt be more pleased with the seasoning and quality of the pieces and how accurate the item descriptions were. Not to mention the prices were exceptional for the quality. Take a gamble with EBay or get what you wanted from Cast & Clara Bell.
After going back and forth between a brand new cast iron skillet and a vintage piece, I finally decided on a Wagner from Cast and Clara Bell. I love the skillet. Itβs a beautiful piece. It shipped quickly and arrived packed so securely. I absolutely cannot wait to use it daily and have a quality piece I can hand down to my daughter someday. I will definitely be purchasing more.
Iβve bought 5 pieces from Cast and Clarabell and show them off to anyone that will give me the time of day. They are all heirloom pieces that I expect my grandchildren to brag about like I brag about my grandmotherβs skillet I have.
I bought a number seven Griswold pan, when I received it, it was well packaged and in great condition.
I gave it an additional two seasonings with grapeseed oil, and this thing is better than a Teflon pan as far as nonstick goes. I have several cast-iron pans, and this one is my favorite. Thanks to the casting Clara team for doing great work. I added a number seven lead that I already had to it.
I ordered an absolutely gorgeous Wagner "golf ball" brownie pan and it arrived beautifully restored and very well packaged. Before ordering, I had a question and received a prompt answer. You can't go wrong with the quality of Cast & Clara Bell cast iron and the care and love for vintage cast iron that they clearly demonstrate.
I absolutely love my first vintage cast iron skillet. Phil has been so helpful in answering my MANY questions, and is always happy to help in any way that he can. It's very clear that he takes pride in his work and is also just a kind human being. I look forward to being a lifelong customer of Cast & Clara Bell.
Iβve made two purchases and both were extremely well packed with care. Both purchases were exactly as described and perfectly prepared for use. The Wapak egg skillet is by far my favorite daily user!
Amazing piece of cast iron. Amazing restoration work by the Seller. The pan looks better than it did 120 years ago when it was made!! So impressed by this piece of cookware. My kids will be getting this beauty when my wife and I are dead and gone.
Nicely seasoned cast iron, very good packaging, and a nice note in the box all come together for a great buyer experience!
Absolutely beautiful piece. Restored to perfection. This is my new daily pan, better than my modern lodge! I ordered 3 different pans, and the packaging was perfect. Everything arrived safe and sound. Antique/vintage iron makes all the difference!! It's worth the investment. These pans will forever be a part of my kitchen, never going back to modern pans.
If you're looking into purchasing, look no further and make the switch to these beautiful restored options.
