IMPORTANT: This is priced to sell because of the uniform surface pitting on the skillet bottom. It was caused from water sitting in its base for an extended period. Through electrolysis we strip that rust completely down to the original surface and then rebuild it. Other than that it is beautiful and ready for its second life! It sits flat and doesnt spin so great for all cook tops.
If youβ€˜re a collector or area history buff, and you havenβ€˜t tried cooking with a pan made by Chicago Hardware Foundry, you are missing out! CHF has just about the coolest story weβ€˜ve come across in our education in cast iron cookware. They were only around for a brief period of time and in the depression era, they were ultimately closed down after a complete loss from a fire, believed to be set by protesting workers on strike. The name Chicago Hardware would continue on, but the pans made during these years, the diamond pattern logo are the earliest of the seriesβ€˜. Thanks for looking!

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
