Collector grade! This one is a bit of a mystery, I’m not sure if this was sprue marked, bottom gated, or side gated.  Based on the style, I’d lean towards this being a 1870-1910 piece, and it has marks that look like, a sprue, a side gate, and under a bright light even a bottom gate.  Thus I’m basing the age on design and bail material (which says it was made after 1865 to possibly as late as 1920).  Really nicely designed and beautifully cast.  Spectacular polishing marks, New England style ears, and heat ring.  Almost glassy to the touch cooking surface – which isn’t quite perfect due to casting flaws, including  pour line where the mold wasn’t perfect and tiny casting voids (almost looks like very superficial pinpoint pitting).   Center of the griddle like many that were cast this thin shows a downward bow which could not be polished away.  Bottom shows some broad shallow pitting from use over a wood stove.  Edges show grind marks where the foundry removed flash, or a side gate.  Remarkable for the age.

Marked: Has a raised number 14 about 1/2” high.

13” 3/4 diameter (excluding ears)

Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil

No cracks or chips, and no movement when you rock it from the center.  From the edge you can get a tiny bit of movement BUT that’s due to the center of gravity on a piece this wide and this old.  There are some imperfections on the edge which you can see look a tiny bit like gate marks but it probably was from being touched up at the factory before it was sent out (see photo).  the center also has a bit of a bow, but that’s very common on pieces of this age, or even of this width.  This will be a glassy, top flight user after just a handful of uses.  This one is an absolute amazing example of an 19th century griddle

This is a very interesting old griddle. Almost certainly made between 1840, as it has a heat ring for a wood stove, and the end of the Civil War (when wire bails took over for hand wrought iron bails). It is marked #8 but has a 13.5 inch diameter and a heat ring that is 12” in diameter. Has New England style ears. Crudely cast – almost certainly small foundry workable shape. Has a large wide gate, pouring flaws and sand inclusions in the iron. Face was lightly stone polished by the foundry, but not enough to leave polishing marks – while the rear shows more of the flaws and inclusions from the sand mold. Marked with a raised 8 which is 1/2 inch high. Heat ring has some breaks in it which I suspect were due to mold issues rather than chipping of the ring (due to the way that iron chips) but they add a lot of character to this piece.

Marked: Has a raised number 8 about 1/2” high.

13” 1/2 diameter (excluding ears)

Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil

No cracks, and I don’ t think the heat ring is chipped but rather shows casting issues.. Whisper of wobble when tested on a sheet of glass (off by less than the thickness of a sheet of paper). Cooking surface is full of small flaws – mostly from pouring but nothing that would stop this from being a great pizza pan. Will only improve with use.

Amazing collector piece – the type you’d see in a museum.  This is a baking kettle probably from Pennsylvania made for the baking of brown bread.  Ears and style say this piece dates to no later than 1820.  Bottom gated and has a hand wrought iron bail.   This is as a great display piece but if you wanted to you could bring it back to usable.   8” 3/4 diameter at the lip and about 5” 1/2 deep interior   Interior of the bowl has some pitting, casting voids and flaws.  But that is not atypical for the age.  A real WOW!  piece.

No markings

Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.

No cracks, chips.  Bottom gated so would wobble if you tested it on glass.  Primitive interior with flaws and some pitting.

Nice unmarked French loaf pan attributed to the Barstow Stove Co of Providence, RI. Barstow existed for just about 100 years starting inn 1836 and folding in the 1930s. This gem pan certainly was made after 1859 (when Nate Waterman patented the gem pan). A great user or display piece (and a really cool one for anyone who likes Barstow or RI made iron). Great for rolls, brownies, cookies, candy making or even making soap. In New England Style with raised markings. Open frame gap between cups for even heat distribution. Very nicely cast and polished. Really a quality piece.

Marked: in raised letters “Patent” on one handle, and “Applied” on the other.

14” x 8” x 1” 1/2 deep/

Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.

No cracks, or chips. Wobbles, as typical of bakeware (which was not designed for a dead flat surface) on the short axis when tested on a sheet of glass. Outstanding smoothness to the casting.

This is a very pretty piece that is just screaming to be put back to use with someone’s grill or broiler. Features the raised center bow type grill to allow juices to drip. When they do, you can pour them off, or use them to baste using the pour spout. This is a great piece which will be beautiful on the wall or when being used. Not quite perfect – as there is a hairline crack in one of the tines. Almost certainly American made by one of the older foundries.

Marked: Unmarked.

roughly 10” 1/2 diameter

Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil

No chips, or notable flaws save for the hairline crack in one tine. Sits flat when tested on a sheet of glass. Small amount of tool and wear marks on the piece.
