I purchased this cast iron pan today at a thrift shop for $4. I'm curious as to the maker. It's not as smooth as my Griswolds.

Did I get a good deal?

Thanks so much,
Kathie

It is a Griswold. There were 6 variations, this one being called variation 3. The Haussler book values it $100-125, but, being published some time ago, its values are usually considered high by today's standards. The blue book, reprinted more recently, values this one at $150, but that also may not be realistic. eBay completed auctions can be useful for determining current values, but in many cases are all over the map, and made more difficult in this case by the number of variations. $4, however, is a steal by any measure.
