There are your more commonly owned Griswolds, like the #8‘s, 3‘s etc..., and then there are the more difficult to find pans, like the 4‘s, 5‘s, etc... This #5 has a heat ring, slant logo and only the ERIE markings (Not the full EPU). #5‘s were less used in the early 1900‘s so their scarcity is more obvious than some of the others. It has been restored and seasoned three times and is ready for you to use. Amazing gift idea for someone that appreciates craftmanship and cooking at the same time. A great sized pan for those not willing to lift the heavy newer cast iron. Also perfect for any cook surface as it does not spin.
Disclaimer: 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. 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
