This Griswold-marked skillet was made just after the turn of the century. The "Large Block logo" (Griswold in Block Letters, full Erie, PA USA) was first used in the early 1920‘s and continued in this design until roughly the late 1920‘s. The age of the skillet puts it just about in the antique range, and will continue to be appreciated (if taken care of properly) for the next 100 years. The cooking surface is in fantastic shape, has been restored to its original surface, and re-seasoned 3 times. Very minor pitting over the original logo on the outside surface that may have been pattern original.
This piece is our highest seller and do not last long online. There is no noticeable movement when on a glass cooktop so it is perfect for any cooking surface. This is a must-have for any collection or for the home-chef. All pictures have been taken in natural light, and have not been modified in any way. Please see the pictures for details, and inquire with any questions.
Disclaimer: We have prepared this piece to be ready to use, or to be displayed in a collection. All pieces are vintage and therefore are not in perfect condition. Their history of use means small marks, imperfections 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, so please review all pictures or ask for further clarification. Thank you! - CastandClaraBell
