This beautiful skillet manufactured by Martin Stove and Range Co is from the early 1900‘s. We don‘t see too many of these in Southeastern PA so coming across one of these fully marked skillets is a real treat. It moves when prompted so best for gas and electric coil rather than glass or induction. We hope you enjoy this skillet as much as we did restoring it!
