Have you ever heard the phrase "it‘s not your grandmother‘s....so and so?" Well, this IS the same as my grandmother‘s skillet and they made them so much lighter and smoother back then. Clara Bell bought her #8 three notch Lodge in the 40‘s before she left Tennessee to move north. . The BLOB is a reference to the raised oval blob at the 12 O'clock position. It typically has the number 2 stamped. It looks almost like a wax seal on an envelope and was used to track either the maker or a quality control. 

Trust us on this one, if you haven‘t used a vintage Lodge (see back of pan heat ring for number of notches) you need to test one out. (testing not available, but you get what we‘re saying...) When we have pan events and meet folks handling restored vintage cast iron, the most common reaction is to how better the quality is once they pick one up. This pan sits flat and does not spin. There are no cracks or damage apparent, but see pictures for proof. The pan has been restored via electrolysis and has been seasoned three times with our custom oil mix. You‘ll love this!
