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.

Museum quality! and when I say that there is no exaggeration, the only other one of these we know of is in the Buffalo Bill Cody museum. Likely made by a blacksmith on the western plains, or west coast of the United States. This skillet certainly predates the Civil War and could date back to 1800. It’s a very unique and special piece. Has some attributes of both cast iron and wrought iron, but there are enough hammer marks on the bottom to makes us lean towards it not being a flask cast piece, but a wrought iron piece. There appears to be a gate/grind mark near the neck of the handle. Hook at the end of the handle was probably for hanging.
Unmarked.
15” 1/4 diameter. handle is roughly 13” 1/4 long
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips. Meant for fire use, not meant to sit flat. Light pitting, tool marks and other signs of age are present. While you could use this piece it really is a historical piece that should be put on display.

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.

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 is a really old piece in collector grade. Pretty, old gate marked handled griddle made c. 1870-1880 (roughly 150 years old). Great cooking surface with great polishing marks and a few scars. A great example of smaller foundry work. WIll be a great user. This one has a little history and a lot of character. Bottom shows pitting from use over a wood stove. Inset heat ring. Small mark under handle could be an “x”, outside shows some casting marks.
Marked: “8” on handle maybe a tiny “x” under the handle
10” diameter
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips or bow. Bit of a wobble on a sheet of glass. Nice cooking surface with some flea bite tool marks and some scars from use. Should fill in as it gets some kitchen time. Outer casting is a bit cruder, and shows some roughness and even light pitting.

We don’t sell a lot of asian iron on our sight, mainly because so much of it is lower quality than we like. BUT occasionally we come across some very nice pieces that we think people will really like. This short walled skillet which only stands 7/8 of an inch tall but is pretty much perfect called out to us. Seemed just perfect for the making of a tart or shallow pastry. Glassy cooking surface, sits flat. Really a sweet piece. $13 plus the shipping is what we pegged this at – but we’ll give a $7 rebate if you buy this one with a larger piece that includes the shipping. Note. there are some marks on the side of the pour spout on one side. Looks like maybe they were trying to make some grooves in the wall?
Marked: Bottom is marked “6 1/2 inch skillet Taiwan 5” on it. There is a raised symbol that looks like an H on the handle that may well tell the maker.
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 glassy to the touch with just light tool marks on the cooking surface and it should only improve with use.
$25 shipped (get a $7 shipping rebate when purchased with a larger piece that includes shipping)

Amazing older piece and I’ve never seen another like this. More of a half skillet/shallow skillet than handled griddle because of higher walls than you see on griddles (1/2” deep on the interior). This one reminds me very much of the Martin shallow skillets. Handle is hollowed on the underside, outset heat ring, high lip raised letters on bottom, decent cooking surface. Sits flat. Casting quality overall is decent with some casting flaws. Bottom shows some long time wood stove use with considerable light sulfur pitting and some deeper pitting from earlier in it’s life Some minor roughness to the cooking face from past rusting, but very fine roughness that will smooth out as the pan gets used. This is a really cool piece.
Marked: “NE 8” in raised letters 1/2” high
12” 3/4 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 primitive but better than most comparable piece with some casting flaws and not fine polished like later pieces were.. Will only get better with use.

No one knows which foundry really made these skillets, but they are widely believed to have been made in western NY or PA, as that seems to be the area where they are most commonly found. They are heavy, and have a heavy (large dimple) hammered pattern in the iron compared to those made by Griswold, Wagner, Lodge or Chicago Hardware. Certainly vintage going back until at least the 1950s and possibly as early as the 1910-1920 period.
Good piece typical of this foundry. Heavy hammered pattern on the outer wall. Very good which has some minor casting flaws and an almost glassy smooth cooking surface (with a few scars) when you run fingers over it. Should only improve as it’s used. Tiny wobble means but so small it should be good on any range.
Marked: “3” on the top of the handle. A single dimple on the underside of the handle is the only other marking.

Good piece typical of this foundry. Heavy hammered pattern on the outer wall. Decent cooking surface which has some minor casting flaws and an almost smooth cooking surface when you run fingers over it. Should only improve as it’s used. Small wobble means its a really good piece for a gas range, not so good on glass.
Marked: “3” on the top of the handle. Two dimples on the underside of the handle is the only other marking.

This is a pretty typical piece from this foundry – very nice but has some highly visible pouring flaws, but those only make this a bit more interesting. Uneven cooking surface with areas that are smoother and areas that are more pebbled. There are some very minor voids on the cooking surface but those will fill in with use. Very thin handle
Marked: “3” on the top of the handle. A pair of dimples on the underside of the handle is the only other marking.
6” diameter

No cracks, chips. Wobbles when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is decent and uneven with some better polished areas and some pebbled areas when touched. Will cook very well and improve with use.
