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