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.

Item 1133
Unrestored. This one was lightly cleaned so as not to damage original seasoning and a new layer of seasoning was added for additional protection.
This is a old spider skillet with the round bottom a type that was popular until just after the Civil war. Bottom gate marked, sits on three stubby legs. Small hanging hole. This one is a little deeper than the ones you usually see. Condition of the interior is remarkable – smooth as glass with only some casting voids as flaws.
Marked #10
11’ diameter.

No cracks, may be some minor edge chipping on the handle but i think it is casting flaw. Sits on it’s legs. Cooking surface is just stunningly smooth with only a few casting voids marring the perfection.

A very nice old spider skillet (skillet with legs) with the rounded bottom (posnet style) made before 1860. This is a good ready to use piece, but it will make an excellent display too. Bottom gated. This piece may have had a tin lid at one point. Has a lipped rim that suggests a lid could have been used however. Piece has some pinpoint pitting and tool marks on the interior. Stands on three stubby legs.
Completely unmarked

Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips. Stands on three legs. Surprisingly nice cooking surface with a very small amount of pinpoint pitting and some moderate tool marks. Not quite glassy, but really nice. Should only get better with use.

Ordinarily I’d say a repair hurts the value of a skillet, but repairs like this, which are well over 100 years old and were made by a blacksmith or tinker are remarkable and far rarer than more perfect pans. They show the love that someone had for this piece, and the effort that went into it. In this case it elevates what would have already been a nice pan into something quite exceptional. This will make any collector proud, and it could easily be restored to use.
Amazing collector piece. This is a Posnet style round bottomed skillet made between 1840-1860 with an incredible old repair. The standout part of this piece is the blacksmith made repair that was made in this piece and which certainly was made before 1900. It consists of a hand wrought iron plate that was pinned with no less than 10 brass pins to re-secure the handle to the pan. Walls are remarkably squared for the design and certainly was part of the transition to a flat bottom skillet. Stands on three short legs less than 1/2” high. Cooking surface while unrestored looks to be in great shape and looks like it could be exceptional (please see photos.) Still has much of the original cureFlat upper handle with hanging hole. Bottom gated.

Amazing collector piece. Bottom gated with long, thick gate on the bottom of this deep spider style round bottomed skillet/ pot, as often seen in older pots. This was made between 1700-1800 for hearth and fire cooking. Interior shows some age and pitting, but can still be used but might be better for display. Stands on three short, D style legs ~ 1/2 tall” (may have been cut down at some point). Flat bar handle also called rat tail style. ~4” 1/4 long handle, with the chisel shaped end. Outstanding.
5” 1/8 diameter at the lip and about 3” 1/4 deep in the bowl
No markings
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.

Amazing collector piece. This is a spider style round bottomed skillet made between 1700-1800 for hearth and fire cooking. This is as nice as you are likely to find. 8” 1/8 diameter. Stands on three longer D shaped legs ~ 1” 1/2. Flat bar handle with lines for texture as cast (rat tail style). ~6” long handle. Appears to have been painted but it is possible that is is old seasoning. There are some casting flaws and larger pits on the side walls but this is a real WOW! piece.
