This is a very old kettle made by a small foundry using flask cast method. Stylistically its very much an early American piece with a heavy bottom gate mark, New England style ears, heavy triangular legs and a square section hand wrought bail. Side has a stylized crown like mark (inside what I think is a pair of wings) beneath the letters B and R with what looks to be a stylized flask which looks to have been an artistic interpretation of an ampersand (&) between the letters. There is a casting void (a hole) which goes all the way though the wall of the kettle about 2/3 of the way down that right “wing”. It is less than a 1/16” wide. Interior is beautifully smoothed with obvious pouring flaws still visible. \Yes you could use this but I think this should be a display piece.
Marked “B & R” please note the “&” is my interpretation of what the artistic flask between the letters is.
7” 7/8 diameter, ~5” 1/2 tall
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 beautifully smoothed for such an old piece, but has casting flaws.

This is an great bailed griddle, over 100 years old. It has raised number “14” and mold on the bottom and New England style ears. Cooking surface is outstanding, mostly flat and smooth but has some interesting pouring flaws, and a few tool marks. The bottom shows a light uniform sulfur pitting which occurred from use over a wood stove. Will be outstanding for pizza and the like. Please note – bails on these were really for storage and stabilization, not for hanging your piece over s fire (they do tip).
Marked only “14” in raised numbers on the bottom.
14” 1/8 diameter
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, or chips. Tiniest hint of a wobble when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is outstanding for the age, but not dead flat as pouring flaws provide some bumps in the surface. Will only get better.

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.

DISPLAY PIECE.
A display piece that will look great in any kitchen. This is an old spider skillet which was made for hearth or fireside cooking. It looks primitive and is not suitable for using without a repair so it has been made ready for display. Sits on three triangular legs. Gate marked on the bottom. We are calling this a display piece because of a small (slightly larger than a pinhole) hole in one wall.
9” 7/8 diameter, 5” 1/4 tall. Handle is 7 long.
Cleaned via electrolysis and painted to prevent rust for display.

This piece was rough when it came in, so rough that restoring it was the only option in order to save it. And it appears to be old – as in close to 200 years old. Bottom gated with very fine casting. It appears to read E. T. Clark, but there is enough pitting on the bottom to make what I think is a “k” indistinct and the “2” is hard to read too. If there are other markings I cannot find them. There was an English firm called Edward Thomas Clark from 1827 -to 1836 (when it was renamed T. C. Clark). If this is the case this is one of the very first piece made for wood stoves (as it has a heat ring) which only came into use at about those same dates This has no bail, or bail attachments which again suggests age. Sadly the piece has two hairline cracks and a chip from somewhere in it’s lifespan which detracts quite a bit from it, BUT at this age the fact it is in such good shape and could even be used is pretty amazing. Heck if you added 2 layers of seasoning to this you could probably seal the cracks so well that you could use it normally. Evidence of more than a century of use is seen in tool marks and light pitting and even some casting flaw. That said the interior is remarkably smooth – similar to modern Lodge cookware even at it’s worst spots. I believe this is a flask cast piece, but so finely done that the line can only be noted on the squaring of the interior of the bowl.
Marked: “E. T. Clar(k) N(o. 2)” writing in brackets is to the best of my ability to read. There may be additional markings but if so they are illegible to me.

Unrestored. Sold as found.
Very early bailed griddle c. 1850-1860 with New England ears, hand wrought iron bail and raised lip. This is probably one of the earliest bailed griddles ever made. The bail on these pieces was made more for storing the piece than it was for hanging over a fire BUT this one is so tight on the shifting it could have been used that way. This is really a display piece, although it could be used if you really wanted to. Piece has some pitting over the whole surface but after 150-170 years I’m impressed it’s this nice. Gate marked on the bottom.

Collector grade! One of the prettiest bottom gated bailed griddles I’ve come across (to be fair I wonder if this should be considered more of a skillet griddle, or half skillet, as it has walls that are almost 3/4” tall around the edge) Spectacular polishing marks, New England style ears and heat ring. Almost glassy to the touch cooking surface – which isn’t quite perfect due to what I think was their inability to polish away all the pour marks from the gate in the dead center of the griddle (almost looks like very superficial pinpoint pitting). Due to location, and a slight bow from that pour on the face I think it just could not be polished away. Bottom shows some very light pitting from use over a wood stove, but in remarkable shape.
Marked: Has a raised number 12 about 3/4” high.
12” diameter (excluding ears)
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil
No cracks, or chips. Very small wobble when tested on a sheet of glass (off by about the thickness of a sheet of paper). Cooking surface is almost glassy to the touch with some very minor pouring flaws that should fill in with use

Somewhere about 1860 bailed griddles, which differ from hanging griddles, came into fashion. The bails were more for storage than for cooking, but this one has a bail meant for lifting out of a stove eye and features a squared top bail instead of a rounded one. As it is a wire bail, rather than a blacksmith made one it does date after 1864 when wire bails became available. Bottom gated, with New England style ears, with a well defined 1/2” wide ring and a bottom designed to fit perfectly into a 10” stove eye so that the griddle would sit flush on the top of the stove. Sits on it’s gate mark so it will wobble on glass. some sulfur pitting, on the bottom and casting flaws on the cooking surface.
Completely unmarked
11” diameter
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips. Sits on it’s gate mark and not designed to sit flat, but will do so inside a stove eye. Cooking surface leans towards the primitive but would have been considered great back when it was made. You can see casting flaws and age. Will improve greatly with use.

Collector Grade! Just a real wow! This one probably came our of the same foundry as #1952, but this one looks like it could have been cast yesterday and not 140-150 years ago (and this one has a polished surface, not the unpolished one like #1952 does). It is that clean. This one is a handled griddle (round griddle) with heat ring and the fancy handle and a beautiful clean bottom with almost no wear. Has the raised letter X on the bottom ~ 3/4” high. Some casting flaws are present but wow this is pretty with a well polished cooking face that is glassy to the touch, although the casting flaws can be felt.
This is a cool piece which can be used or hung on a wall.
Marked: “7” on the handle, and “X” on the bottom.
~ 8” 7/8 diameter
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil
No cracks, chips (there are two areas of casting void in the heat ring). Slight wobble due to center pour gate mark. Cooking surface is glassy and smooth save for the areas where the casting flaws are visible

Ordinarily we wouldn’t have restored a piece this old if we could help it but there was no seasoning left, just a coat of rust, so restoration was the best way to preserve this piece of history.
Museum Grade piece. Over 200 years old. This one is old and interesting, in fact in might be the coolest piece to pass thought our shop ever. Ear style suggests this was made just after the Revolutionary War, but while the body may have been cast then I do wonder if the bail was added later, possibly after the legs broke or were removed? But the truth is that they could have been removed from an old mold at the foundry. Bail is a blacksmith made squared, wrought iron one with a hand peened ring attached. Bail was designed not to be attached, but draped over the pan ears and pegged. Meaning that the bail could be removed and possibly used on other pots. Like most early iron this one has casting flaws and some wear. Bottom shows pitting from being used over wood. Very usable, but this is a piece of history and I’d put it on display except for very special occasions where I might actually use it. No cracks, chips.
