This is a unique one! Not much is known about the O‘brien and O‘Brien foundry. It seems that for a brief period of time there was a foundry (as opposed to being made in another facility like Griswold or Wagner on their behalf) that was owned by two brothers in Chicago during the early 1900‘s. They look similar to the Ozark foundry pieces but they are not directly tied. So, there is not much more known about them, which is common for many smaller foundries of the time. O&O are known to have produced a #8 Dutch, and skillets in sizes #3, 5, 8 and a deep fryer. Hard to find and a cool piece to own! It sits flat and is wonderfully made!
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

I have number 3 through No,10 and No 14 Griswald cast iron pans and the matching covers except the cover for the No. 4 fry pan. I looking for that cover and No. 11. 12, 13, pans and covers. I would appreciate any help you could give me in securing these items. I would also like the No. 2 pan if you were to come across it.
I ordered the egg skillet spatula as a gift for a friend, and let me tell you -absolutely perfect! The customer service is fantastic, and I received a handwritten 'thank you' card with my order. I'm incredibly happy with the quality, and will certainly order from this company again!
Nice piece for my collection.
Quality is excellent, packing was A++
What great service! The item was shipped in a timely manner and very well wrapped/protected (which almost never happens). I can’t wait to try it out.
This griddle is awesome!! It arrived as described and was super well packaged for shipping. I am very pleased with my new addition. A++++
This is a fantastic piece for my collection. I am so pleased with it. It was shipped and packaged with so much care. It was delivered exactly as described. They also have great communication. I emailed in a question about my order and received a reply quickly. A+++++
My grandfather recently passed and I was given three of his Griswold skillets. I fell in love and had to have more sizes in this collection. This is an amazing pan and has been cleaned/restored and is functioning very nicely. I love it. Great seller and very truthful about the condition of the pan. If you’re considering a purchase here, read and trust the description. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you! -David
Extremely satisfied.
Great skillet. Nice shape and I love the history of the foundry. lighter than my #6 Field. Pleasure doing buisness.
So excited to receive the Griswold Deep Fat Fryer! It was packaged great and arrived quickly. It was seasoned to start using today. I will shop with Cast and Clara Bell in the future. 100%
It’s pretty much exactly what I expected.
Not perfectly cut, but a repurposed old number seven Griswold pan turned into a perfect utensil for me to use on my grill.
I could not be happier with my purchase! I have looked for the “perfect” O’Brien & O’Brien skillet to represent my O’Brien family in my new home, and this is it! I couldn’t believe it arrived on the same day that we received our certificate of occupancy. It is now in its place on our wood stove!
It is beautifully restored, and the handrwritten note from the owners made me so pleased to have purchased from Cast & Clara Bell. This may be the first of many purchases😉.
