Re: Griswold Questions
Ran across one in central IL about 6 or 7 yrs ago. Was a spinner so I left it behind. Probably shouldn't have; haven't seen one since.

Re: Electrolysis Tank - Newbie!
Your charger appears to be an automatic trickle charger/maintainer. Automatic chargers see the electrolysis circuit as a charged battery and shut themselves off. The charger used needs to be a manual...

Re: Electrolysis Tank - Newbie!
If the product you are speaking of is not 100% sodium carbonate, I would ditch it and replace with Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda which is. Since your make and model battery charger is unknown, what...

Re: Wagner 1059 Without “9”
Before catalog numbers, heat ring Wagners had the size number on the bottom and didn't need it on the handle. When the existing patterns were updated, the intent was likely to add size numbers to the...

Re: Can Not Identify an Old Skillet
The line across the bottom is called a gate mark, the gate being where molten iron entered the mold. "Bottom gated" pieces which also have the design characteristics such as the small hemispherical...

Re: Old Lodge Maybe?
This pan falls into the realm of what many assume (or hope) is a Blacklock, the predecessor of Lodge. The RB shows a substantially similar pan along with verbiage that might make one infer it is a...

Re: Erie Muffin Pan
The Griswold #10/948 popover pan was made for a very long time and went through several revisions (15) the "yellow book" calls variations (perhaps because the order of revisions isn't exactly known)....

I've never seen a reference to these being plated. Plating of CI cookware literally doubled the price. Seems like an extravagance for a charcoal grill. Are you sure it's actually plating? Perhaps...
