This baby is a special one. We have a critical set of iron that we use weekly and this is one of them. There are many sad iron style (oblong, dual handle flat cast pans that usually do not have a spout for pouring) heaters out there and we‘ve sold a few for customers looking for a griddle, or even a unique display centerpiece for the dining table. Its not common for one to have a logo so many of them are considered unknown maker, with some understanding of the region it came from. However this Griswold slant (Erie) griddle has all of that use, along with the famous Griswold name! It was used over a wood stove early in its life (likely in the 20‘s or 30‘s) and it had sulfur marks from that use. Its been fully restored and is ready to use!
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
