#2236 Best Made Bacon and Egg fryer Griswold1

Item 2236

Please note all our pieces unless marked otherwise are fully restored and seasoned. Just wash them and start cooking.

An excellent piece that will be great in your collection. This is a Griswold piece – based on the Colonial Breakfast skillet, made by Griswold for Sears & Roebuck to be sold under their Best Made brand. Sits dead flat with no wobble at all. Divided into three sections this skillet was designed to make a whole breakfast at one time – with a large portion for bacon and two egg compartments where the bacon grease could be used to cook the eggs. Cooking surface has the typical finish (slightly pebbled as these pieces could not be smoothed in the same way as round skillet).

Marked: “Best Made Bacon and Egg Fryer Patent Applied For 1257”

8” 7/8 x 9” Excluding the handle length.

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

No cracks or chips. No wobble, or bow when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is as good as they get, and is a good collector as well.

Nice BSR (Birmingham Stove and Range) Century skillet from the 1950s. Sits flat, smoothed but not stone polished (factory finish) – so it has a slightly textured surface. This is a solid user level skillet that will be great for searing, and general cooking. Like all BSR skillets this has a heat ring and the distinctive shaped to the underside of the handle. There is a small casting flaw in the heat ring of this piece.

Marked: “Made in USA No. 5 8 1/8 In”

8” 1/8 diameter excluding spouts and handles.

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

No cracks, chips or wobble. Cooking surface is non-polished BSR and is rougher than the glassy polished pieces that BSR produced. There are only a few tiny flea bite tool marks that should fill in easily with use. Should only improve with use.

Not cast iron but blacksmith made wrought iron. Nice three prong (fork like) tip on both sides of the tongs. Not sure what these were used for but they tested negative for lead or heavy metals, so they’ll be fine for food use. Cleaned and seasoned. Hand peened attachment. Delicate and finely made. These would be amazing as a display piece.

Sold as found. This one really is for wall hanging (although it could easily be restored) and we did not want to take away the signs of it’s age. We did rub it down with oil just to prevent any further rust from damaging it.

Blacksmith made wrought iron 2 prong fork. Probably made for hearth cooking. This could have been made anytime from 1660-1900 so dating it is impossible. J hooked at end for hanging. It’s a very cool piece.

Blacksmith made wrought iron straight skewer over 15” long with the number 19 marked in the side. I suspect this was made for cooking meat, but I’m not 100% sure on that. Has a large circular ring with a 2” 1/2 diameter for gripping on one end. VERY sharp.
Only marking is the number 19 which appears to have been hammered into the iron using a die. Because of that, and the fact it is blacksmith work it was probably made after 1850, but prior to 1870, when cheaper man made wire would have been available for use for items like this.

Waterman style #3 gem pan with bottom gate. This is based on the Nathanial Waterman Patent of 1859. They were widely copied by a number of foundries and made without the Waterman name. Waterman pans are end poured/gated but this one is bottom poured so it almost certainly came from another foundry. Still it’s a gorgeous well made piece that shows how good small foundry iron could really be. Ready for use or display this gem is in excellent condition – with it’s only imperfections are very minor pouring flaws from the foundry. Underside of the cups are beautifully smootherd, while the interior is typical of gem pans that could not be stone polished on the interior. You don’t find many this nice.

Marked bottom: “3” on the underside of one handle.

12” 1/2 long x 8” 1/2, x 1” tall

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

No cracks or chips. Sits on the gates so it does wobble (as expected) when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is very good.

A real mystery piece, and a very uncommon one as few foundries made dutch ovens in this size. This is a gate marked dutch oven body made after 1865 but before 1900. Gate is wide and crude which suggests an earlier date but the bail is machined wire, which was not available until after 1962. While the bail could be a replacement, I don’t feel comfortable dating he piece as earlier. Pot interior surface is pitted but not enough to prevent use. Markings are all on bottom and are raised and crude.

Marked: “8 IN 1” on the bottom surrounding the bottom gate

8” diameter, ~3 high

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

No cracks, chips. Wobbles on it’s gate. Cooking surface is pitted but not enough to prevent use. Will only get better.

Museum quality historical iron. Made between 1820-1850 this piece is at least 160 years old and could be as old as 220 years old. this appears to be a transition piece – hanging so that it could be used over a hearth fire, but with a deep wide rim that would allow it to sit inside a stove eye on an early wooden stove. This is a deep skillet/kettle – bowl-like with a bottom gate. Has a blacksmith wrought bail, and New England style ears. Slightly rounded bottom with no legs. Not surprising due to the age (and casting method) there are some casting flaws and the exterior bottom shows light pitting from wood stove use. Very usable – but a real gem for display. Has a nice rim “7/8 wide around the outer edge.

Unmarked.

11” diameter

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

No cracks, chips. Not designed for stovetop use but for hanging or sitting in a stove eye. Cooking surface has casting flaws and tool marks.

Museum quality historical iron. It’s hard to know what to make of this one – as it lacks many of the features that allow us to date something precisely. However this style of cast iron bowl/pan were made between 1800-1860. This does not have much of a rim which suggests it was not designed for wood stove use, but was probably used with a butler’s trivet over an open hearth. Interior has some minor pitting. This could easily be used but would probably best be used as a display piece.

Unmarked.
