Vintage Griswold #3 Skillet

The Great Griswold

Griswold Manufacturing Co. began manufacturing cast iron in America in the 1870s and closed their foundry in 1957. This style of vintage skillet was produced in the 1930s. Right away you'll notice the lighter weight compared to modern cast iron, and the factory milling marks reveal the craftsmanship found during the Golden Age of Cast Iron. The large block logo and being fully-marked on the bottom make it desirable among collectors of vintage cast iron. 

This skillet has been carefully stripped to bare iron, had rust removed, been thoroughly cleaned and inspected before 4 rounds of seasoning were applied. This created a foundation for the skillet, making a durable cooking surface that is ready to cook with as soon as it arrives. With regular use and proper maintenance, the seasoning will continue to develop over time, making it a future heirloom.

This prized #3 skillet is perfect for:

• Baking cookies
• Frying eggs 
• Sauces for small servings
• Sauteing vegetables
• Searing steaks and porkchops 

Compatible with most cooking ranges including electric, gas, grill, induction, oven, and even a campfire. This vintage skillet may have minor casting flaws and imperfections due to the method of manufacturing and by nature of age; they are normal and do not negatively impact performance. No detectable spin or wobbling. Please review all photos for details before finalizing your purchase.
