This piece is priced to sell because of a good amount of restored and fully reconditioned pitting from neglect on the outside, but the inside is almost PERFECT! What an amazing piece to use and own. If you are looking for a big high quality skillet AND matching lid without it costing a thousand dollars, this is it! In perfect condition, a #12 Block Skillet and Lid would be upwards of that price, but this huge #12 skillet is different.

It was found it in in an upstate NY estate sale. We stopped by and took a look at what was around, and it was sitting in the back, all alone, because it was VERY beat up. The piece must have been sitting outside in the elements for some time because pitting had set in on the exterior ring and on the lid. HOWEVER, once we opened it and looked inside, the water tight seal between the lid and skillet revealed a COMPLETELY different story inside! We‘ve been doing this long enough to know when we see something that can be beautiful again and this fit the bill.

Look at the pics of the outside of the lid and the outside of the skillet, then look at the inside! It‘s the Phantom of The Iron Opera as half of it saw a hard life and the other half (the interior) was safe and secure. We think it was sealed tight when left in the elements, and therefore while the exterior was susceptible, the inside remained almost perfect. It‘s pieces like these that deserve a home that will take care of it for the next hundred years, or will use it responsibly at the cabin or just for every day. The block logo is an early 1900‘s style from Griswold that came with a matching raised number low dome skillet. It sits perfectly flat and will be a fantastic bacon skillet or fajita skillet with this lid!

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, 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
