Griswold #8 704 Large cheapest Block Logo Cast Iron Skillet (Excellent Condition) - Restored and Seasoned

Griswold #8 704 Large Block Logo Cast Iron Skillet

You are viewing a beautiful piece made by Griswold Manufacturing Co. in Erie, PA. This skillet is a middle run of the large block logo series without heat rings made between 1930 and 1939 as indicated by the "H" pattern/mold indicator, "early" handle design, bold, non-italic lettering on the Griswold Logo, and lack of heat-ring present on the reverse side of the skillet. Measures 10.25 inches across.

The skillet is in fully restored and ready-to-use condition. It has been chemically stripped down to raw iron and seasoned 3x with vegetable shortening (e.g., Crisco), giving it a beautiful dark brown/black finish that will darken with use.

This skillet has no chips or cracks. There is an approximately 1 business-card wobble and a corresponding minor spin on a flat surface, however both are unnoticeable on my gas range. The cooking surface has the usual light utensil marks and some minor pitting but is still shiny and incredibly smooth - ready for any cooking cheapest and baking you desire! No notable casting flaws, and only some light discoloration from old rust on the underside of the skillet which will disappear after a few more rounds of seasoning - nothing indicative of any issues.
