UP FOR AUCTION & YOUR CONSIDERATIONIS A VERY NICE #2 GRISWOLD SKILLET AND LARGE SLANT LOGO! IT IS A CLASSIC ERIE , PA. , U.S.A. , NO. 703 EARLY HANDLE...WITH HEAT RING!!! ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE! DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION : THIS SKILLET IS FROM MY OWN PERSONAL SET OF SLANT LARGE LOGO SKILLETS, WHICH I AM PUTTING UP FOR AUCTION. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I OWN AND I HAVE OWNED THIS SET FOR MANY YEARS. THIS NUMBER TWO SLANT LOGO IS VERY HARD TO FIND. IT IS A GOOD PIECE IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE TO COMPLETE YOUR SLANT SET. THIS SKILLET IS BEAUTIFULLY ENGRAGED WITH ALL THE NECESSARY LETTERING. THE LETTERING IS DEEP AND HIGHLY VISIBLE, AS WELL S THE NUMBER ON THE HANDLE. THE SKILLET IS NICE TO SEE. THE PATINA IS BEAUTIFUL, AND IT IS EXTREMELY CLEAN, INSIDE AND OUT. IT IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION, DEPENDING ON YOUR OPINION OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. T IS NO DAMAGE THAT I CAN SEE FROM CHIPPING, CRACKING, DENTING, BREAKAGE, REPAIRS, OR ABUSE FROM HEAT OR CAUSTIC SUBSTANCES. T ARE THE USUAL TINY PINPOINT SIZE FLECKS MANUFACTURING PROCESS, OR FLECKS IN THE ORIGINAL SAND MOLDS. T IS AN IRON OVERFLOW DEPOSIT ON THE OUTSIDE, ABOUT ½ INCH FROM THE HEAT RING, WHICH YOU CAN EASILY SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THAT AGAIN, COMES FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND IS A COMMON OCCURANCE IN VINTAGE CAST IRON. WHEN I RUN MY FINGER AROUND THE HEAT RING, IT IS VERY SMOOTH. AS IS COMMON WITH SKILLETS THAT HAVE HEAT RINGS, T IS AN ALMOST INVISIBLE RISE IN ONE SMALL PLACE THAT CAUSES A LIFT WHEN IT SITS ON THE BOTTOM. IT DOES CAUSE THE SLIGHTEST OF MOVEMENT. WHEN I PLACE TWO 3/5 CARDS UNDER THE SKILLET, THE MOVEMENT STOPS. WHEN I PLACED A STRAIGHT EDGE ACROSS THE HEAT RING, AND ACROSS THE LARGE BLOCK LOGO, THE STRAIGHT EDGE SITS FLAT, INDICATING THAT T IS NO BOWING IN THE CENTER THAT I CAN SEE. IT IS OLD. T ARE A FEW SPOTS ON THE INSIDE COOKING SURFACE BUT ONLY ONE CAN BE FELT, AND MAY BE A PIT OR A SMALL PIT, WHICH COULD BE A MANUFACTURING BUBBLE. MOST OF THE FLAWS ON THE SKILLET ARE THE USUAL PINHEAD FLAWS. T IS AN AREA ABOUT ¼ INCH LONG ON THE RIM, NEAR THE TOP EDGE OF THE RIGHT POURING SPOUT THAT IS ALSO WHAT APPEARS TO ME TO BE A SAND BUBBLE DEFECT OR MANUFACTURING FAULT. IT CAN BE SEEN ON THE PHOTOS. I HAVE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH THE ENTIRE SKILLET AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE SO YOU CAN GET A GOOD IDEA OF THE CONDITION. T ARE A FEW UTENSIL MARKS AND SOME A FEW DISCOLORATION SPOTS ON THE INSIDE. ONE OR TWO HAVE A SLIGHT FEEL TO THEM WHEN TOUCHED. AGAIN, T IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT PIECE OF VINTAGE CAST IRON, NOT EVEN GRISWOLD. IF YOU SEEK PERFECTION, THIS ONE IS NOT FOR YOU. I HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO DISCLOSE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LOVELY PIECE, AND TO BE AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN. THIS ONE DOES HAVE SOME FLAWS FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. I HAVE PROVIDED A LOT OF PHOTOS, AND STAND READY FOR YOUR QUESTIONS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ANY ANYTHING. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION OF WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT, AND WHAT IS NOT. EVERYTHING IS MY OPINION AND I AM NOT A DEALER OR AN EXPERT. I WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO GIVE YOU SATISFACTORY ANSWERS. I STAND BEHIND MY WORD, AND WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING. GOOD LUCK!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS ITEM IS GUARANTEED TO BE AUTHENTIC EARLY GRISWOLD, BUT PLEASE BE SATISFIED BEFORE YOU BID, THAT THIS IS THE PIECE YOU WANT. FEEL FREE TO WRITE TO ME AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS. A PERFECT PIECE OF OLD CAST IRON IS NEVER PERFECT. T IS NO SUCH THING. EACH ONE HAS ITS OWN CHARACTERISTICS THAT OCCUR DURING THE CASTING PROCESS. GRISWOLD EMPLOYED THE BEST ARTISANS IN THE BUSINESS, AND USED THE BEST IRON AND THE BEST MOLDS. THEY WERE KNOWN FOR THE EXCELLENT QUALITY OF CAST IRON. HOWEVER, EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN IDEA OF WHAT THEY EXPECT FROM THE DESCRIPTIONS, AND DIFFERENT IDEAS OF WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD PIECE, AND A NOT SO GOOD PIECE. EVERYTHING YOU READ IN MY LISTINGS IS MY OPNION. I AM BY NO MEANS AN EXPERT. THESE ARE FROM MY OWN HOME, AND MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION.... read more
