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.

#2299 Rimmed hanging vessel with stove ring 1820-1850 bailed - 1

Item 2299

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.

These mysterious unmarked breakfast skillets turn up from time to time and cause some speculation about who really made them. While some do think these were made by Lodge, others just aren’t sure. Odds are they were made a store brand by a smaller foundry who sold them to a number of outlets who put a paper label on them. They are cool little pieces with absolutely no markings, and they are certainly less common than the Wagner and Griswold models. Cooking surface has the typical pebbled finish of breakfast griddles as the piece could not be polished the same way. There are some casting flaw visible here and a few tool marks, but nothing which should effect use. Tiny bit of wobble means this will not be good for a glass top stove but should be great on gas or coils. Not the best seasoning job (see the spot on the bottom) but that will fade away as the piece darkens.

Unmarked

8” 3/4 x 8” 3/4 plus the handle.

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

No cracks or chips. Tiny wobble when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is good, but pebbled to the touch and will only improve with use
