Found a real nice 10 " "C&S" skillet for $10.00

You all know how I hate passing up bargains.

It is a bit of a mystery and several feature are very unusual to my thinking.

It is shaped like a saute pan in that the pan is dome shaped with rounded saucer shaped sides rather than intersecting the bottom in a much straighter angle.

The metal finish is very grainy very much like the newer lodge finishes yet the heat ring and drooping handle indicates it is quite old.

I took the time to attempt to locate a C&S foundry on the internet to no avail . I am torn and very much want to return and purchase it but without any info is it really as old as I think. I place it 1880's to early 1930's but it is simply a very shirt sleve guess.

Anyone have any info ?

Bobhenry, get a couple pictures and post up over here...... WWW.Camp-cook.com I've seen at least 2 other people from this board that are on there as well. Somebody's bound to know what you've got.

Well I had a few bucks in my pocket so I did it. I went back and got the C&S skillet and here are the pics.





I have lead a rather sheltered life and have never seen a round shouldered cast iron saute skillet.

Well is it unusual ??????

I have one that I picked up at a swap meet last year in So CA so they made it across the country.
The slightly different shape does make it stand out from the major brands.

Well after 2 days of heavy lifting and moving the good junque to my new storage building shop I took Sunday morning off and went junkin'

Total net 2 griswold skillets one 9" one 10" an 8" lodge and a square shouldered oven sans lid













The 2 griswolds wer $10.00 each

The Lodge was $2.00

And the little taiwan pot was $5.00


I thought it was a great haul for $27.00 total

They are now sanded and seasoned a bit and after some cooking experience I may show the glowing results.

UPDATE:

Well the Griswolds went for $20.00 a piece at my moving sale this wekend. I had invested a bit of sanding and a quicky seasoning on the stove top.

I had also bought a nice porta potty for $5.00 at a yard sale last weekend so I sold my less than perfect one at my sale for $10.00 and kept the new pristene one.

So I doubled my money on everything.
