Griswold #9 Low Dome Cast Iron Raised Letter Skillet Lid or Cover - #469 - Cleaned and SeasonedThis large logo Griswold full mark raised letter #9 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 This lid was originally made sometime between 1915 and 1935.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 11 3/8" across without the pour spouts when measuring the outside rim and stands about 1 ½" tall without the handle. It fits a Griswold #9 skillet whether they are large logo or small logo. The inside skillet rim on the lid has an outside diameter of 10 ¾".I do not see any pitting outside or inside on this lid. There are two spots of what appears as casting flaws in the outer rim on the top side. There are no chips, cracks, breaks, rust, or repairs to the piece. There are the usual discoloration from years of use, storage, and age.Inside is marked:Patented Sept. 22. 1925.Pat'd Feb. 10. 1920.Griswold logo in a double circle - 3 ¼" in diameterErie, Pa., U.S.A.469BI 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 three coats of solid vegetable shortening in the oven for about ten hours. This is why my cast iron does not appear black but is usually dark amber brown in color. 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.All of our cast iron cookware pictures are taken outside in the natural light. We try never to use a flash to obscure the surfaces or enhance them. We don't like looking into a 'black hole' for a picture of the skillet or pot and don't imagine that you do either. We give you full pictures of the top and bottom and not just a small section of what I want you to see. I always feel like something is being hidden behind the black hole or to the surrounding area of the one small section. If you need additional information, please send a message.And now for the not so fine print:1.

We pack all cast iron pieces in the method recommended by the Griswold Cast Iron Association. I try very hard to have my pictures with enough light to show the item I am selling. I do not like dark pictures that hide defects and problems and try very hard to show the buyer what they are purchasing.4. All sales are considered final.
