Griswold handle differences
- Thread starter DonnaM
- Start date
The one on the left is LBL (533) size 6. At the top it says CAST IRON SKILLET 6.
The one on the right is SBL (699) size 6. It has a small 6 at the top.
I want to keep one of them and I'd like to keep the oldest one. (I would post photos but don't want to take up so much space with my too-large photos....)

This article gives approximate ages of Griswold skillets according to their markings: https://www.castironcollector.com/griswoldskillets.php
The small block logo skillets were made with three different handle styles, as noted in the article. The grooved handle, only seen on SBL skillets, is the latest in the time frame the SBL skillets were made. Exact year of transition from the "late" handle is not specifically known.
