First off let me say it pays to have a good friend who watches out for CI for me and has a good eye. This is what $15 dollars looks like to a lazy auctioneer. $10 for the glassware pile, and $5 for the copper boiler pile, the last pic shows what I got out of the piles.

I believe I have the griddle ID'd as a Lodge Shallow long pan #8 from page 231 in RB. Am I correct on this? All measurements seem to match up and picture appears to as well. I'm surprised by book price of only $10-15 but I got it for $5. What were these used for? Deeper than a regular griddle but not deep enough to fry fish? And was it made to fit on the sportsman grill maybe?

Next up is the round bailed griddle. It's a #16 slant Erie griswold. I can't believe I got this for $10. And it's flat and doesn't appear to be pitted. I can't seem to find this particular version in either the RB or BB though, I did find one on eBay under sold listings and it looks like it went for $350, is this accurate? Also how were these used? Seems big for stove top, and if hung over a fire it would be tippy, maybe just set on a wood fire stove? I'm also curious on why the Erie is not in quotes like I see a lot of other ones have?

And last but not least, apparently it was a Slant Erie griswold day for me. While my buddy was buying the other two at auction for me, I was out hunting. When a shop owner seen me looking at cast, she pulled this out of the back room and offered it to me, I fondled it for a second and realized it's stone flat and in great shape and immediately started bargaining, got it down to $85. Are #11 skillets more rare? I was surprised to see the RB and BB list it at $150-$200. Also curious on the no quotes on Erie.

All in all I think I had a good day for a $100 bill!
