Griswold No. 8 skillet

This old Griswold cast iron skillet stands 2" high with diameters of 10-1/2" at the top and 9" at the bottom. It measures 11-1/4" across at its double pouring spouts and 15-1/4" across at its handle that’s marked with an 8 and features an elongated hole for hanging. Bottom is marked GRISWOLD in a cross surrounded by a double circle, and also says “No. 8,” “Erie PA,” and carries the number 704 with an A underneath. The small cross logo with block lettering dates this skillet to 1937-1957. (See the Griswold story below.) It’s in decent vintage condition with light surface rusting consistent with its age and usage. Collectors love to display these old Griswolds in their kitchens, but should you wish to actually use this one, there are several web sites that give complete instructions for removing rust, cleaning, and seasoning cast iron cookware.

This smaller Griswold cast iron skillet stands 1-3/8" high with diameters of 6-1/2" at the top and 4-5/8" at its raised bottom heat ring. It measures 7" across at its double pouring spouts and 10-1/4" across at its handle that’s marked with a 3 and features an elongated hole for hanging.

Griswold cooking pot

Ol’ Swaphos is quite convinced that this old Griswold cooking pot with hanging handle was Cookie’s favorite for rustlin’ up grub over an open campfire next to his chuckwagon on treks along the Santa Fe Trail! I don’t know about that, but considering that this pot’s bottom markings – italicized GRISWOLD in large cross and double circle, with 936 above and ERIE underneath in block capital letters – dates it to 1897-1920, I suppose it’s possible, and it sure makes a great story! (See the Griswold story below.) What I know for sure is that this pot holds 1 gallon and stands 5" tall with diameters of 9" at the top and 6-3/4" at its raised bottom heat ring. It measures 10-1/4" across at the two handles where the flip-up wire bale is attached, and 9-1/2" across at its single lug handle, underneath which is a large wire loop for hanging on a wall or pot rack. Remarkably good condition for its age. Exterior is still shiny black although the interior shows heat blistering and light surface rust where some of the blisters have popped.
