What a funky creation! Huge Repurposed Wagner #11 cast iron spatula. Possible pizza peel for your homemade pizzas!
Our spatulas are handmade by a local artisan here in PA and are one of a kind. These reclaimed spatulas are ONLY made when the original skillet has been broken and cannot be used safely anymore as cookware. We would never destroy a piece of history unless the only other option would be to discard it forever. Each spatula is custom measured, cut and finished smooth. Once shaped, they are restored by our usual methods before seasoning with the same process we use for all of our pieces. These are AMAZING gifts for the person that has everything, the grilling aficionado or the cast iron enthusiast.
- DISCLAIMER: We have prepared this piece to be ready to use or displayed in a collection. All pieces are vintage and therefore are not in perfect condition. Please use the photos as description. History of use means these pieces will have small marks and inconsistencies which we feel give them special charm. All items are sold as is and we have done our best to present them as such. Please review all pictures and ask for further clarification if needed. Thank you! - CastandClaraBell
