IMPORTANT: There is a faint and even amount of sulfur pitting on the bottom of this griddle. This is VERY common for the earliest 1890‘s and early 1900‘s griddles, as they were placed and sometimes maintained over the eye openings of wood stoves. Wood can create sulfur pits over time but they do not affect cooking or the continuity of the griddle. Its a beautiful piece with some unique character from it‘s era.
Prior to the name "Griswold" being fashioned on the most popular vintage cast iron cookware with the famous cross logo, they used the name Erie on all of their items. Some of the most sought after cast skillets were made by Griswold under the Erie name and were made prior to 1910. This version was made in the early 1900‘s, and features both the slant logo and the Erie brands. This is a fantastic, light weight long griddle, perfect for grilled cheese or pancakes over the fire or in your gourmet kitchen. Its surface is slick and ready to use, being fully restored and seasoned three times with our oil blend. A fantastic piece to hang on your wall or display in your kitchen.
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
