If you haven‘t seen a "ghost marking" on a vintage or antique skillet, you should check out this Wapak #8 Cast Iron Skillet! Back when these skillets were made, one of the most expensive parts of the casting process was the patterns that were used to hand manufacture them. Wapak‘s, made in Ohio in the 1900‘s were known for their reuse of patterns, and often as a result a "ghost" mark, a faint indicator of who originally created the pattern would emerge. The center of the pan has a distinct 704 code from a 3rd series Erie and the ERIE arc logo is visible as well! Ready for use or for to display. It sits flat and does not spin, which is not common for Wapak. A great storyteller skillet to own!

What great service! The item was shipped in a timely manner and very well wrapped/protected (which almost never happens). I can’t wait to try it out.
This griddle is awesome!! It arrived as described and was super well packaged for shipping. I am very pleased with my new addition. A++++
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 you’re considering a purchase here, read and trust the description. I couldn’t 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%
It’s 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 don’t overheat the skillet first!) Near mint condition and beautifully restored. If you are looking for the perfect fried egg, you’ve 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
It’s absolutely gorgeous!…ready to cook in. I’m excited
Beautiful #8 Griswold skillet. Outstanding restoration and prep work. Easy ordering and payment, and fast shipping. Great people !
