This vintage skillet by the short lived "Chicago Hardware Foundry or CHF" was made in the early first half of the 1900‘s. It features the dual CHF and Favorite logo on the back and regardless of its age, the cooking surface of this pan is in great condition. It is absolutely gorgeous and was restored and seasoned three times with organic beef tallow, so its ready to use once you receive it. It does not sit flat so it is best for gas or coil? Awesome piece!
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, including residual carbon, 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
