What an amazing hard to find piece, that was unfortunately altered by someone trying to make it flat. This is a late 1800‘s #11 DEEP skillet, that has "A P" on it as well as its #11 marker. This pan is not seen often in the deep version, so we were so excited to get it, until we turned it over! Someone tried to make it flat and they ground off the heat ring. Why someone would try to do this is only conjecture but we think its because they thought it would be flat after grinding. Well, it isn‘t, so unfortunately it comes with some scars, and we are pricing it to sell. This would be a $300 skillet without the alteration. So we have marked it down to $200.
If you‘re searching for some unique cast iron to add to your collection, consider adding this gate marked #8 skillet. It looks as if it were made from a late 1800‘s pattern, possibly Mid-Atlantic/OH. The double spouts were from after the 1860‘s era of single pour spouts but we will defer to much more informed gate mark experts. It‘s so hard to know exactly the origins or dates of these pieces. We absolutely love this one and whoever picks it up will be very pleased with how it performs on a gas or electric coil stove.
Background on Gate Marking: Gate marking is a term used in describing pieces that were cast prior to very early 1900, when gate mark casting became obsolete. Many foundries during this time are considered "no name" or "unknown" foundries, and produced cookware locally without consideration a future need to know their origins! So while its virtually impossible to know the exact date and location of their creation, they were most likely manufactured in the mid atlantic/ohio area. It‘s a great piece to cook with OR to display in your gourmet kitchen.

Let customers speak for us
from 367 reviewsI have been a Griswold collector for 20 + years. Always looking for a piece to add to my cookware cast iron. I don’t hang my pieces I use them daily. I picked up two pieces of Griswold cast iron specifically for breakfast dishes for myself. Couldn’t be more pleased with the seasoning and quality of the pieces and how accurate the item descriptions were. Not to mention the prices were exceptional for the quality. Take a gamble with EBay or get what you wanted from Cast & Clara Bell.
After going back and forth between a brand new cast iron skillet and a vintage piece, I finally decided on a Wagner from Cast and Clara Bell. I love the skillet. It’s a beautiful piece. It shipped quickly and arrived packed so securely. I absolutely cannot wait to use it daily and have a quality piece I can hand down to my daughter someday. I will definitely be purchasing more.
I’ve bought 5 pieces from Cast and Clarabell and show them off to anyone that will give me the time of day. They are all heirloom pieces that I expect my grandchildren to brag about like I brag about my grandmother’s skillet I have.
I bought a number seven Griswold pan, when I received it, it was well packaged and in great condition.
I gave it an additional two seasonings with grapeseed oil, and this thing is better than a Teflon pan as far as nonstick goes. I have several cast-iron pans, and this one is my favorite. Thanks to the casting Clara team for doing great work. I added a number seven lead that I already had to it.
I ordered an absolutely gorgeous Wagner "golf ball" brownie pan and it arrived beautifully restored and very well packaged. Before ordering, I had a question and received a prompt answer. You can't go wrong with the quality of Cast & Clara Bell cast iron and the care and love for vintage cast iron that they clearly demonstrate.
I absolutely love my first vintage cast iron skillet. Phil has been so helpful in answering my MANY questions, and is always happy to help in any way that he can. It's very clear that he takes pride in his work and is also just a kind human being. I look forward to being a lifelong customer of Cast & Clara Bell.
I’ve made two purchases and both were extremely well packed with care. Both purchases were exactly as described and perfectly prepared for use. The Wapak egg skillet is by far my favorite daily user!
Amazing piece of cast iron. Amazing restoration work by the Seller. The pan looks better than it did 120 years ago when it was made!! So impressed by this piece of cookware. My kids will be getting this beauty when my wife and I are dead and gone.
Nicely seasoned cast iron, very good packaging, and a nice note in the box all come together for a great buyer experience!
Absolutely beautiful piece. Restored to perfection. This is my new daily pan, better than my modern lodge! I ordered 3 different pans, and the packaging was perfect. Everything arrived safe and sound. Antique/vintage iron makes all the difference!! It's worth the investment. These pans will forever be a part of my kitchen, never going back to modern pans.
If you're looking into purchasing, look no further and make the switch to these beautiful restored options.
Mint condition vintage cast iron. Every piece is a work of art.
In great condition but with a unique personality!
Great seller! Packed with care and exactly as
described. My new daily egg skillet.
It is very clean and perfectly smooth!
Exactly as I imagined it, the pan I got was 9” but light for cast iron. It had an incredible finish and I can already tell I’m going to be using it everyday. The restoration job is amazing, it is way nicer than any cast iron pan I’ve seen to date, and I grew up with my family grew up using cast iron. Thank you for the effort it took to get such a smooth finish, I’m sure it was a lot for how nice this is. What an incredible find!
