Griswold

I love Griswold.
I love picking up a cheap crusty cast iron pan at a thrift store and looking for the faint cross in the crud. Hidden treasure.

Looks like a regular old cast iron pan to me! Wonder if anyone is going to make a mold of it? Seems a worthwhile sort of mold if folks are gonna want the pans that much?

EBay is sooo much fun to sell stuff on!

WOW That is a pretty price

An old number 13 Griswold is also rare and commands a high price. I've ever only seen two of them. One was sold at a farm auction for $1300.00 and that was back in the late 1990's. Check your big skillets, you might have a sleeper!

I've got one!

Or rather, my mother does.

When I saw this topic the other day, I checked the skillets hanging on the wall, but didn't think to check the ones sitting on the stove. But I just picked up a skillet to cook hash browns and there it was! ERIE right across the top.

However, it may be the skillet passed down for 4 generations. I'll have to ask my mother. If it is, she wouldn't want to part with it. If that's the one, it has a very great deal of sentimental value.

But if it's one she got at a garage sale, ebay here we come!!
