The classic antique Griswold‘s #8 Slant Skillet, "704" is a tale of two pans. The heat ring block logo is one of most sought after skillet series‘ as it was one of Griswolds earliest with the cross style logo. IMPORTANT: The outside is almost mint condition. Then there is a rougher interior than usual which was likely from being out in the elements, like many of these skillets were a hundred years ago. We stripped this piece but the surface was stubborn to get back to original iron. There will be some carbon residue when you first use it, but over time with cooking it will deepen and lessen. For the new cast iron buyer, keep in mind that a rough surface is not indicative of issue cooking with it. Food does not stick because of surface. it sticks because of a too high temperature. Any gourmet kitchen needs a set of Griswolds to make it complete and this pan is a perfect gift idea! Light and durable its ready to use, as well as display!
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

from 377 reviewsIt’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 !
Excellent. Product as described. Cast iron expertly packed for shipping. Nice to think of all of the happy people this 1920’s waffle iron has fed over the generations. Incredibly ingenuitive for the time.
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😉.
Son-in-law very happy with his new spatula!
Perfect
Great! Beautiful
Beautiful!..very pleased
I've extremely happy with this purchase. The skillet was even better than I expected from the description and photos, and the sales support was excellent. There's a few more gaping holes in my collecction, and shopping here will be my first choice.
I recently purchased a number 8 spider pot. I have been looking for one for several years. I give hearth cooking demonstrations at our local rural heritage museum and needed a spider pot for several dishes. The spider arrived in great shape. The packaging was very good. The condition of this spider was like new. I have since used it and can't be more please.
I 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.
