New to the forum but have been cooking with cast iron for close to 15 years now. What got me interested in cast iron was Griswold Victor 9 skillet. My interests are in Erie and Griswold skillets that I can use for day to day cooking. I recently acquired an Erie skillet which I'll add a picture of once I finish cooking dinner with it.
However, I have one exception this cast iron kettle I bought at an antique store when I lived in Ithaca New York about a decade ago. I liked the detail where the handle attaches and it was not very expensive, under $20.00 if I remember correctly. After moving back to Wisconsin it sat in a closet for about ten years and I kind of forgot about it. I got it cleaned up last week and seasoned. After doing some research on this kettle and discovered that the gate mark likely means it is from the 1800s. I know its a bit of a shot in the dark but is anyone able to narrow the age down more?
