I bought a Dixie Foundry Skillet #8 today at an Estate Sale. The info on Dixie on this site indicates stove manufacturing but does not mention skillets. Anyone know when this skillet may have been made? One video I saw noted that the block lettering is similar to Griswold lettering. It has a pseudo heat ring. The side is a smooth radius to a ridge around the bottom but then the remainder of the bottom is slightly recessed from that surface. The cooking surface has numerous pock marks. The remainder of the cooking surface is smooth indicating to me that the pocks are a casting flaw rather than rust. Other Dixie skillets I saw on the internet have similar pocks. There is an "8" on the top of the handle that will show better when cleaned and seasoned. I'll post some "after" pictures once cleaned. Anyone have any more info on Dixie skillets?
