This is a museum quality display piece, but it could easily still be used. With a hand wrought bail which was threaded at the ends and hand peened swiveling hanging hook. Dates to 1860-1900 making it roughly 120-150 years old (Give or take a decade). Ring and bail were designed for cooking over an open or hearth fire. Piece has bottom gate and three stubby feet for stabilizing it when put down. Cooking surface is remarkably good with an almost glassy feel over much of it. There are some rougher spots where casting flaws and some patches of pinpoint pitting has occurred, but a remarkable piece in using shape. Would be amazing for display or even for re-enactors. Could be used on a stove. Bottom has pitting from wood fire use.
Unmarked.
14” 1/2 diameter.
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips. Not designed for stove use and even with the feet it would have wobble on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is very good, not quite glassy, but outstanding for the age and type of piece. Some pinpoint pitting in patches and a few casting flaws on the cooking surface. Would improve greatly with use.

Unrestored. Sold as found.
Very early bailed griddle c. 1850-1860 with New England ears, hand wrought iron bail and raised lip. This is probably one of the earliest bailed griddles ever made. The bail on these pieces was made more for storing the piece than it was for hanging over a fire BUT this one is so tight on the shifting it could have been used that way. This is really a display piece, although it could be used if you really wanted to. Piece has some pitting over the whole surface but after 150-170 years I’m impressed it’s this nice. Gate marked on the bottom.

Museum quality – collector piece, with a cooking surface that is absolutely remarkable. I’ve never seen one so good on a hanging griddle. Early wire bail dates (which I think is hand pulled wire, due to the irregularities, rather than machine made – but I’m not certain of this) this to roughly 1865-1890. Bottom gate and raised #14 on the bottom. Cooking surface is stunning – glassy with just minor casting flaws. I’ve not seen one like this that is better on the surface. Bottom has pitting from wood fire use. Remarkably, even though this was never meant for stovetop use, this sits almost dead flat with just the tiniest hint of movement when tested on a sheet of glass.
Unmarked save for the raised 14 on the bottom.
13” 7/8 diameter.
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips. Not designed for stove use but only the tiniest wobble when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is remarkable.
