We have this baby hanging in our kitchen for daily use making everything from breakfast sandwiches to single serve bacon, square eggs and more. What we love so much about restored cast iron, besides its elegance in design, but also being living American history in your kitchen, are the stories behind the pieces themselves. Lansdale PA is near where our family is from, and when we found out there was a skillet with our hometown on it, we jumped at it. A new friend was gracious enough to sell us his and thatâs the one we use. This is the first other that we have come across.
These were made by an unknown foundry in Lansdale PA. Weâve researched them and cannot find anything definitive on the maker in the area. Searching the local historical records strangely yielded nothing. The handle looks like a mix of Griswold Iron Mountain and possibly Foster. The casting is rough, with original scuffed finish on the logo as well as a significant patterns shift that causes a lip thatâs seen in pictures. This one is not seen often and for the casual collector or admirer of unique Americana, this could be the perfect piece for you.
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

What great service! The item was shipped in a timely manner and very well wrapped/protected (which almost never happens). I canât wait to try it out.

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 youâre considering a purchase here, read and trust the description. I couldnât 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%
Itâs 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 donât overheat the skillet first!) Near mint condition and beautifully restored. If you are looking for the perfect fried egg, youâve 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
