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 that‘s the one we use. This is the first other that we have come across.

These were made by an unknown foundry in Lansdale PA. We‘ve 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 that‘s 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
