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.

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

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

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.

8” 3/8 x 8” 5/8 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

This is an old hand forged mezzaluna/ulu style knife made for rolling to chop or scraping.  It appears to be hand forged, but I cannot 100% swear to that.  There are no markings anywhere on the blade or handle.  Blade is roughly 5” 1/2 long and is about 4” 1/2 inches set away from the 5” 1/4 long handle.

Based on style and materials I’d say this is a pre 1900 knife.

These are works of art.  These are works of art.  Very finely cast with incredible detail.

You do find some wonderful cast iron things when you go picking and today I’ll be listing three old pipe rests, which honestly will make the most amazing spoon rests.  These are 125-150 years old each.  This one is in the design of a man smoking a pipe with excellent detail.  Casting quality is extraordinary.  These were small lot poured rather than mass produced.

Marked: “3546”  and with 4 dots.

5” 1/4 x 3” 7/8

No cracks or chips.  seasoned.
