Have you ever heard the phrase "it's not your grandmother's....so and so?" Well, this IS your grandmother's skillet and they made them so much lighter and smoother back then. Trust us on this one, if you haven't used a vintage Lodge (see back of pan heat ring for number of notches) you need to test one out. (testing not available, but you get what we're saying...) When we have pan events and meet folks handling restored vintage cast iron, the most common reaction is to how better the quality is once they pick one up. This pan sits flat and does not spin. There are no cracks or damage apparent, but see pictures for proof. The pan has been restored via electrolysis and has been seasoned three times with our custom oil mix. You'll love this!
We have prepared this piece to be ready to use, or to be displayed in a collection. All pieces are vintage and therefore are not in perfect condition. Please use pictures as description. Their history of use means small marks and inconsistencies, 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, so please review all pictures or ask for further clarification. Thank you! - CastandClaraBell
