    This is a promotional advertising skillet made for Dwight Eisenhower’s 1952 presidential run for president.  This is a VERY rare piece as not a single cast iron collector or any of the presidential collectors we have spoken to have ever seen one.  It appears to have been cast by Martin Stove and Range in Birmingham Alabama based on the design and style.  It looks like it was originally plated with brass and swathes of it remain and what is left is a very cool patina.  This is a special piece for any collector.

    Marked : “I Like Ike” on the face of the ashtray

    3” 3/8 diameter,  4” 3/8 cigarette holder to cigarette holder, 5” 5/8 overall length.  1” high.

    Unrestored

  • #1662 Unmarked Martin w ghost round griddle 801

    Item 1662

    Very nice unmarked Martin round griddle/handled griddle with Martin ghost mark (still visible where they filled in the Martin hamburger logo to make the unmarked).  Has very nice polishing marks (often mistakenly called mill marks).  Mostly glassy to the touch but bas two rough spots around the edges which I’m not sure are from inclusions in the casting sand or very odd spot pitting.  Either way they don’t detract from what is really a great pan

    Marked: “8” on the handle.

    9” 1/2 diameter excluding handle.

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

    No cracks, chips.  Slight wobble when tested on a sheet of glass.   Cooking surface is glassy but has two small odd patches which are rougher.  Those should smooth over with use.  Will only get better.
