Item 1021

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

This one is a bit of a mystery piece – we’re not quite sure what it really is.  All I can say for sure is that it came out of an old farmhouse barn in CT that was built in 1820.  Guesses have included a animal feeder or watering bucket, ash catch tray for under a wood stove, even a refrigerator pan.  It might be one of those or something else entirely.  In any case it’s a very cool piece.  The center hook mechanism is pinned and swings like a hinge upright to an almost 90 degree angle.  Oval in shape with one raised side and a slot on the underside where the piece clearly locks into something else.  Casting shows a pouring flaw opposite the bottom gate mark.  Some minor pitting present Casting quality is good.

Marked: “21-163 on the interior bottom of the bucket part.

11” 1/2 x 10” 3/8 x 4” high

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

No cracks, chips.  Sits on it’s gate marks so there is wobble when tested on a sheet of glass.

$100 including shipping.

Item 1878
Sold as found.  Some scratches in tinning where copper shows though

Highly desirable copper skillet made in France.  Based on the brass handle, machine made peans this is probably a post 1920 piece but features 3mm thick walls indicating good quality.  Probably usable as is, but could easily be re-tinned.

Marked “Made in France” up on the wall near the handle.

10” 1/2 diameter,  8” 3/4 handle

Unrestored.  Sold as found.

This is a fake.  Someone back in the day counterfeited a number of Griswold products including the tea sized corn stick pan which can ordinarily fetch as much as $100.  This is one of the fakes and to be fair it’s better than most (and it looked real before cleaning).  Take it cheap if you want it.

Really just a bit of cast iron art.  This plate belonged to a cast iron stove and depicts a cabin in the woods among the hills and has a very winterish feel to it.  A pretty little piece which just caught my eye as I knew someone would really enjoy it.

14” 1/2 long, 9” 1/4 tall at the high point.

Really a special one.  This was a very finely cast deeper spider skillet (skillet with legs) with the rounded bottom (posnet style) made before 1870.  Very usable but the piece does have some minor surface imperfections from both casting (voids) and a very light pitting. Bottom gated.  Pieces like this probably had tin lids, if they had any at all (although we do have one with an iron lid if you check out piece #1977).  Fancier handle shaped much like a duck bill, with a gentle groove on the top.  Stands on three legs.  Would be great for a Civil War re-enactor.

8” 3/4 diameter (excluding handle)

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

No cracks, chips.  Cooking surface has some roughness due to casting flaws and light pitting, but most of this will smooth over quickly with use.

*High carbon steel knives are highly sought after knives loved by professional and home cooks alike due to the quality of the steel, the edge it maintains and the hardness that is not matched by other knives.  If you don’t believe me, take a look the opinions of Alton Brown.  Please note these are NOT stainless steel knives, they do require a little bit of care (prompt washing and drying after use, occasional sharpening, etc), but hey, if you can maintain a cast iron pan you’ll find this a piece of cake.  Over time they will develop a patina, and even stain.  But they are probably the best quality steel knives you’ll ever use.
