Just thought I'd share.... please correct any incorrect information.
Yesterday, located (at a local Thrift store) this skillet that appears to be a Wagner era Griswold small badge logo 11 1/4" skillet, (no.9). I assume poured sometime after Dec. 1957 ... and, before the requirement of "Made in the U.S.A." (early 60's). From what I have read here.... not highly regarded as "collectible" due to lack of Erie, P.A. imprint. Most here would probably have passed on this one as it has a slight wobble, and, can be spun. But, the cooking surface is close to immaculate, it cleaned up nicely, and, I lack the culinary skill to make wobbling and spinning an issue. It will serve as a "user" for my purposes. (I did not have a skillet this size).
I gave $25.00...seemed about a fair deal as most on Ebay completed listings go for more... and then there is shipping. One thing I have noticed...based on the large retiree population (plenty of CI hunters) in the greater Phoenix metroplex anything with Griswold/Wagner logo seems almost non-existent. So, got to pick them when you find them.
As it is 120 degrees here today I think I will defer on the oven seasoning and just season thru useage. I like this skillet. :icon_thumbsup:
