So $3 for the skillet....How much was the laundry bill to have your cloths and car seat cleaned??
Great find Bonnie. Looks like a keeper for sure. I have found generally that the nickel plated pieces once darkened from cooking use will not restore back to the original finish. I have several Griswolds that look great from the top side but when turned over that darkened nickel just makes it look like it wasn't cleaned. Guess that's understandable why collectors prefer the black iron verses the nickel plated ones. Hopefully the inside cooking surface was left un-plated and you have a nice smooth dark surface. I have several where the plating only went down about half way of the wall on the skillet and some where it was completely plated but splotchy areas where the plating has come off.
Give us an update pic once you get her cleaned up and ready for the dance....
