If you want a skillet that lives in rarified air, this would be one of them. Griswold made Erie skillets are the earliest versions of the brand, made in the late 1890‘s. This is the VERY FIRST series made by Griswold in the 1890‘s. Early makers made their skillets by hand, and the very first Erie skillets were known by their "scoop" style handle and no catalog number on the skillet reverse. These skillets are the lightest we‘ve held, and are a pleasure to work with. HIGHLY recommended!
Note: It does NOT sit flat. It spins when prompted so glass or induction will be more challenging. Best for gas and electric coil. We used it after first seasoning to test it out and it performed beautifully. There are some pattern shifts that are visible on the bottom, which is typical of these very early skillets.

from 398 reviewsI bought a BSR No 8 recently. I’m very pleased with the condition. It was also very professionally packed to avoid damage. I’ll be buying more in the future! Thanks.
The Wagner Ware #10 spatula was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. The product looked exactly as it appeared on the website and is great addition to my collection of cast iron pots, pans and tools. The company was a pleasure to deal with and you can tell that the owners take pride in their excellent service.
Awesome dish! I want more of this set!…thx for the great item and service!
Great Condition and will be a nice user!

I have number 3 through No,10 and No 14 Griswald cast iron pans and the matching covers except the cover for the No. 4 fry pan. I looking for that cover and No. 11. 12, 13, pans and covers. I would appreciate any help you could give me in securing these items. I would also like the No. 2 pan if you were to come across it.
I ordered the egg skillet spatula as a gift for a friend, and let me tell you -absolutely perfect! The customer service is fantastic, and I received a handwritten 'thank you' card with my order. I'm incredibly happy with the quality, and will certainly order from this company again!

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

Great skillet. Nice shape and I love the history of the foundry. lighter than my #6 Field. Pleasure doing buisness.
