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 you‘re a collector or area history buff, and you haven‘t tried cooking with a pan made by Chicago Hardware Foundry, you are missing out! CHF has just about the coolest story we‘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 series‘. Thanks for looking!

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.
Awesome, unique, and great for the grill!
I love the flop griddle. I been looking for one a long time. I intend to use it this winter when I start cooking on my wood burning cook stove.
This pan is fabulous. From the first egg, no sticking at all (as long as you don’t overheat the skillet first!) Near mint condition and beautifully restored. If you are looking for the perfect fried egg, you’ve found your vessel.This is my second griswold from these folks, and I will keep coming back as they do a really terrific job.
Wonderful piece. In great shape and ready to cook in
It’s absolutely gorgeous!…ready to cook in. I’m excited
Beautiful #8 Griswold skillet. Outstanding restoration and prep work. Easy ordering and payment, and fast shipping. Great people !
