Griswold #8 Low Dome Cast Iron Raised Letter Skillet LidCover - #468 A This great large logo Griswold full mark raised letter #8 skillet lid or cover that is the low dome style has been cleaned and lightly seasoned and is ready to join your cooking staff the day it is received. It sits flat on a hard surface without any wobble. This lid was originally made sometime between 1915 and 1935. It is 10 ¾” across without the pour spouts when measuring the outside rim and stands about 1 ½” tall without the handle. It fits a #8 skillet whether they are large logo or small logo. The inside skillet rim on the lid has an outside diameter of 10”. This lid is in exceptionally nice vintage condition! The inside surface is smooth with no pitting and appears to be in original condition. I find no pitting on the top side of this lid. It is in exceptionally good condition. There are no chips, cracks, breaks, rust, or repairs to the piece. There are the usual discoloration from years of use, storage, and age. There are some casting flaws on the outside and inside outer rim of the lid that you can see in the pictures. Inside is marked: Patented Sept. 22. 1925. Pat’d. Feb. 10. 1920 Griswold logo in a double circle – 3 ¼” in diameter Erie, Pa., U.S.A. 468 A A I clean all of my cast iron back to the original gun metal gray casting or as close as I can. This way it has no residue or contaminants from previous use or storage. The new owner can use with confidence in their safety. I only season with two coats of solid shortening in the oven for about three hours. This is why my cast iron does not always appear black. You could perhaps say it has been restored as close as possible to its original condition. There is a possibility that some of what I refer to as shallow pin point pitting is actually original to the casting. I do no oil my cast iron so they show up shiny or better for the pictures. I do not put my cast iron in a smoker to get it black, paint it black, or use stove black to get that dark black appearance. I do not put varnish on the inside cooking surface to make it appear glass shiny and smooth! I prefer to list as many flaws as I can see, find, or think. I want the buyer to be informed and pleased upon arrival. And now for the not so fine print: 1.
