Lol. Not my skillet. I'm checking to see if I should bid or let it go. I live in the middle of nowhere, it's a Facebook auction page for us locals who are members of that specific page. Current bid is $40 so it's nearing it's worth.

Btw, if it was mine it wouldn't look this rough. Who lets this happen? Barbarians!!

Easy to clean and restore, I prefer the deeper skillets.

Saw a #1 skillet go at auction for $650.00 several years ago ,,,,,,, people who collect Griswold don’t mind spending the $$$ if they want it for their collection ,,,,,,,, 🙄

The small griswald circle like on this one is worth more as the later pans made had a larger circle. I had the whole set from #1 to the 20 including the nickel ones.

#13 was very pricey but like a lot of collectables the market softens eventually.

If the current bid is $40 it sounds like right now, its worth $40.

$75 to $125 for the skillet
Griddle about half that.
Good luck finding any info about seasoning & care of cast iron ... 😉😆😋

I cant help on value but I would do some internet searching on closed auctions or even active ones
we have a assortment of Cast Iron pans some we bought some from my mom and from my MIL
we use them some what often most are wagner a few are Griswold . every thing mom fried or baked was in a wagner made product
I grew up In Sidney Ohio home of Wagner cast iron foundry about 5 blocks from our house I knew and grew up around a lot of people working there ( several other cast iron and aluminum foundries there was a bunch of them ) they were all dirty / hot and hard work by shift end cast iron dust and sand casting dust had every one coated I remember a lot of eye injuries burns and assorted injury's always people with banadges and eye patches on them . the grinding wheels would explode ( come apart ) and really do damage to people
any way I did not know any one around us who had a shortage of cast iron skillets and pans 😁some were seconds ? some were employee discounted sales ( wink wink )😲 but for many years you could not go to a garage or yard sale even local auctions thet did not have countless Wagner ware for sale on the cheap .
we have a miniature set of pans they put out as a collectable item many years ago , some where here in the house 🙄
I do more cooking in them than my wife she likes to make corn bread in them and uses a griddle . I still like fried taters cooked in lard ( ya the good heart clogging stuff ) on occasion and deep fry chicken and pork chops .
well let us know if you go all in and buy any of them

Larry has a real "thing" for cast iron, so he's always sneeking things in here. I have a Griswold pancake maker on my fireplace mantle right now because it will not fit anywhere in the kitchen. Between the skillets and bean pots I think the floors in our house will fall in one day from the weight. (Kidding)
Things like this are pretty cool to have....I complain, but I do like this stuff ALMOST as much as he does.

I have a Wagner Krusty Korn Kob pan that I use fairly often to make cornbread sticks - found a recipe online with a review of the pan by the New York Tribune in 1918. Wife likes them as do I.
The only way I cook venison steaks is pan searing in cast iron - using the side burner of the gas grill as it's too smoky for indoors. Gotta get the pan pretty hot & I found an old charcoal grill cover to hold heat in any weather.
Anyone looking for info on seasoning cast iron, Google: Griswold and Wagner Society website, there is a page on seasoning pans using Crisco.

Oh, I thought you were referring to the old Griswald revolver, which is pronounced the same except it is a bit more valuable than an iron skillet! Technically it is Griswald and Gunnison but when I saw Griswold that was all I could think of.
