NOTE: This pan has a bubble off the right side of center, causing it to spin. This is very common in Wapak skillets, with flaws, warps and sand-shifts often being a part of their charm. This skillet will NOT work on glass but it would be great on gas or electric coil!
If you havenât seen a "ghost marking" on a vintage or antique skillet, you should check out this Wapak #9 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. Wapakâs, made in Ohio in the 1900âs 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 701 code from a 3rd series Erie and the ERIE arc logo is visible as well! Ready for use or for to display. A great storyteller skillet to own!

from 376 reviewsBeautiful #8 Griswold skillet. Outstanding restoration and prep work. Easy ordering and payment, and fast shipping. Great people !
Excellent. Product as described. Cast iron expertly packed for shipping. Nice to think of all of the happy people this 1920âs waffle iron has fed over the generations. Incredibly ingenuitive for the time.
I could not be happier with my purchase! I have looked for the âperfectâ OâBrien & OâBrien skillet to represent my OâBrien family in my new home, and this is it! I couldnât believe it arrived on the same day that we received our certificate of occupancy. It is now in its place on our wood stove!
It is beautifully restored, and the handrwritten note from the owners made me so pleased to have purchased from Cast & Clara Bell. This may be the first of many purchasesđ.
Son-in-law very happy with his new spatula!
Perfect
Great! Beautiful
Beautiful!..very pleased
I've extremely happy with this purchase. The skillet was even better than I expected from the description and photos, and the sales support was excellent. There's a few more gaping holes in my collecction, and shopping here will be my first choice.
I recently purchased a number 8 spider pot. I have been looking for one for several years. I give hearth cooking demonstrations at our local rural heritage museum and needed a spider pot for several dishes. The spider arrived in great shape. The packaging was very good. The condition of this spider was like new. I have since used it and can't be more please.
I have been a Griswold collector for 20 + years. Always looking for a piece to add to my cookware cast iron. I donât hang my pieces I use them daily. I picked up two pieces of Griswold cast iron specifically for breakfast dishes for myself. Couldnât be more pleased with the seasoning and quality of the pieces and how accurate the item descriptions were. Not to mention the prices were exceptional for the quality. Take a gamble with EBay or get what you wanted from Cast & Clara Bell.
After going back and forth between a brand new cast iron skillet and a vintage piece, I finally decided on a Wagner from Cast and Clara Bell. I love the skillet. Itâs a beautiful piece. It shipped quickly and arrived packed so securely. I absolutely cannot wait to use it daily and have a quality piece I can hand down to my daughter someday. I will definitely be purchasing more.
Iâve bought 5 pieces from Cast and Clarabell and show them off to anyone that will give me the time of day. They are all heirloom pieces that I expect my grandchildren to brag about like I brag about my grandmotherâs skillet I have.
I bought a number seven Griswold pan, when I received it, it was well packaged and in great condition.
I gave it an additional two seasonings with grapeseed oil, and this thing is better than a Teflon pan as far as nonstick goes. I have several cast-iron pans, and this one is my favorite. Thanks to the casting Clara team for doing great work. I added a number seven lead that I already had to it.
I ordered an absolutely gorgeous Wagner "golf ball" brownie pan and it arrived beautifully restored and very well packaged. Before ordering, I had a question and received a prompt answer. You can't go wrong with the quality of Cast & Clara Bell cast iron and the care and love for vintage cast iron that they clearly demonstrate.
I absolutely love my first vintage cast iron skillet. Phil has been so helpful in answering my MANY questions, and is always happy to help in any way that he can. It's very clear that he takes pride in his work and is also just a kind human being. I look forward to being a lifelong customer of Cast & Clara Bell.
