Item 1357
Please note all pictures on our site are of the actual piece you will receive, not a stock photo of a similar piece.  Additionally all our pieces unless marked otherwise are fully restored and seasoned.  Just wash them and start cooking..

Good user skillet for someone looking for something better than modern cast iron.  It appears to be an unmarked Vollrath skillet made between 1910-1940.  Sits flat and nicely polished, but it has some flaws with the cooking surface, mostly due to casting voids from inclusions in the sand mold when it was poured.  Should become smooth and glassy with a little use as the voids should fill in and reduce.

Marked: “3 b” on the top of the handle

6” 1/2  diameter

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

No cracks, chips or wobble when tested on a sheet of glass.  Cooking surface is smooth to the touch but not quite glassy. Marred by some light to moderate imperfections and voids.  Should only improve with use.

Unmarked Wagner #5 skillet with nice polishing marks (often mistakenly called mill marks).  Decent user quality skillet.  Almost glassy with some texture from the polishing near the skillet walls.  Has a few flea bite tool marks and some minor stains but nothing that won’t fade away as the seasoning builds up and darkens.   Wobbles due to a center bow so not good for a glass top stove as it will spin.  Should be great on gas or coils..

Marked: “5” on the top of the handle.  Bottom says  “8 inch skillet made in USA” on it.

8” diameter

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

No cracks, chips. Fair degree of wobble due to a center bow when tested on a sheet of glass.  Cooking surface is smooth and almost glassy to the touch.  It has light tool marks and some polishing texture, but it should only improve with use.

13” 3/4 x 10” 7/8 x 8” 1/2 on the rectangle.  Stove eye drop is 7” 1/2 diameter x 2” deep.

Unrestored – sold as found.

Museum level display piece.  Well over 150 years old.   This is a really unusual piece, neither Henry nor I have ever seen one of these before.  It’s a rectangular pot with an eccentric bottom on one end, meaning that it has a round lower piece that was designed to be dropped into a stove eye.  Has the original tinned steel lid, and is bottom gated.  Based on the stove eye drop and the hand wrought bail this piece has to have been made between 1820-1860.  New England style ears with unique reinforcing style.  Sadly it has a crack on the bottom, so using it would require a repair first  (and it might be worth doing), but as a display piece it’s just amazing – and so unique that you probably will not see another one.  Hand wrought bail with wooden handle.  See pictures.

Sold as found.

I can’t tell you exactly how old this is, or who made it, but it’s an oldie with blacksmith made wrought iron handles, and hand peened joints. That means it’s probably 1870 or earlier at the youngest (as machine made thick wire handles which were MUCH cheaper came available about 1865). This was meant for hearth, or open fire cooking. Very finely cast with each plate done in a different pattern. The lower/deeper plate looks waffle like with 4 sections and alternates between rows of square and round patterning. The upper plate mates tightly to the lower one when closed, and has almost a crimped/angled type pattern.

Totally unmarked.

7” 3/4 x 5” 1/4 plates (excluding hinges and arms). Overall length is roughly 24”

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

No cracks, chips. Outstanding cooking surface.

This is the smallest double griddle/sad iron heater I’ve come across. Made for use with an old wood stove It’s a very usable piece which would also look great as a display piece. The piece isn’t perfect, it has some casting flaws which adds some roughness to the cooking surface. Has a well about 5/8” deep so it can be used for poaching, roasting, or even frying. Side “wings” allowed it to sit in a wood stove without falling.

Marked: Unmarked.

17” 3/4 handle to handle, outer lip to outer lip 15” 3/4” x 7” 3/4 (at the wings), 5/8” deep. Inner cooking surface 14” x 5” 3/4

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

No cracks or chips. Sits on it’s gate mark so it won’t sit flat on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface has minor tool marks and casting flaws. Should only improve with use.
