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 1770-1840 this piece is at least 160 years old and could be as old as 250 years old. Designed so that it could be used over a hearth fire. This is a deep skillet/kettle with a bottom gate and d shaped legs that were added to a sand mold separately. Has a blacksmith wrought bail. Not surprising due to the age (and casting method) there are some casting flaws and light mostly exterior pitting from use. Very usable – but a real gem for display.

Unmarked.

11” 1/2 diameter, 3” deep inside. Legs are about 1” tall.

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 hearth. Cooking surface has casting flaws and tool marks.

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.

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.

Has a fair bit of pitting on the interior and some more on the outside and bottom from being used over a wood fire or stove.

Nice older six cups baking pan (the cookies/cakes they made were known as gems – hence the name gem pan) for pastries in the fluted design known as the “Turks Head”. Over 100 years, possibly even 150 years old. Wing style handles and twin gate marks on the center cups that have been mostly smoothed. Sits on the gates, so does not sit flat on a sheet of glass.

Unmarked

No chips, cracks. Sits on it’s gate marks so there is wobble, but that was typical of the gated ones. Cooking surface is typical of gems of that era.

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.

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
