THIS ONE...is a tale of two skillets... The inside is almost MINT condition. And the outside is in fantastic shape and sits flat. It is priced to sell because there is a reddish hue to the bottom and a small amount of "micro pitting". We venture that at some point in its early life, it was used over a small eye on a wood stove and one time it was left on the stove too long. There is not warping, no issues other than the hue which will blend in with additional use. So we have a good sized discount on the price to account for the hue.
1920βs Vintage Griswold Large Block #10 skillet, has been restored and seasoned for you. The #10 is a tougher piece to find and this one is from the earlier block logo family. Again, a near mint piece on the inside and the outside has a reddish hue and some minor pitting. They will always be visible, but they will deepen with lots of use. So this skillet is for someone who values a high quality piece of cookware, but doesnβt care about the cosmetic perfections. A fantastic daily user!
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, 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
