Early large (#10) 1800's Antique Gate-marked Wide Rim Cast Iron Posnet Style skillet! Used on hearths, beautiful cooker AND display piece!

Our full catalog, cleaning and care instructions, and more can be found at www.castandclarabell.com

This hard-to-find #10 antique three- legged posnet style skillet has been restored and seasoned from having been found in a barn sale. Indicative of the pre-1900's change from bottom gate marks to the more modern side gate marks, the bottom has three legs and is marked with a large raised 10. 
IMPORTANT: Many of these were used by being drug out of the hearth so they naturally wore down so the pot sat at an angle. This one is that way so it does not sit level naturally.
The flat pointy handle was more common in the early 1800's, prior to when holes were added to handles in more modern patterns. The finish on the pot is reflective of its age. Please see pictures as evidence of quality and craftsmanship. Truly a fine collector's 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
