I'll stop by on my way home from work tomorrow and pick it up. I'll be nice and dispose of it for you.
Lol, that is so thoughtful, thanks Shawn.
It is unused (never seasoned) and from my research I believe it is chrome plated.

Just put a little friction resistant oil on the bottom of that baby and let er rip!
Just kidding, I know nothing of cast skillets...though my wife does want one.
Look up kent Rollins on YouTube. He has a couple of videos doing reviews and comparisons on a lot of the modern brands. Plus lots of amazing cooking.
Yep, he does some interesting stuff.
We use nothing but Griswold's in my house. From my understanding, the collectors value the chrome plated ones more but those of us who use them daily don't because usually the chrome is not in good shape. Your's seems in really good shape. I'd check out current collector prices before using.
So wish I could get my hands on some Griswold Cast Iron! It is impossible to get them here in the south and from what I understand...in the PA, NY, OH area they are really hard to find also. Looking for them on the likes of ebay and such, you are going to spend a fortune finding them.

Well played Shawn
Yep, I have checked it out some. While it is somewhat unique and kinda cool, I am not a collector and am not really interested in using the Chromed one. I may sell or trade it.
@ShawnF was this at the Antique Mall in Sally? LOL
Yes sir it was. Sometimes you find good deals, other times it's a lot of "it's old so it has to be worth a lot" crap.
I haven't been there in a while, but found the same there.
Shawn and I run into that a lot with blacksmithing stuff..........it's old so it's worth a lot of money type of thinking. I always explain to people that there's the collecting world and then there's those of us who use the stuff. I've gotten good deals on axe heads after being honest and telling the seller that I plan on hanging a new handle on it and putting it back to work.
We have a Cast iron Dutch Oven and cast iron fry pan that are at least 50 yrs old the makers marks look hand stamped but cannot make them out anymore
Yep, I have seen that first hand with both straight razors and Bamboo fly rods. Just because it is old doesn't mean it is worth big $$$$.
Now back to cast iron, lol.... I just found out that I am getting the other skillet from my mother in law. This one is an enamel covered cast iron. Never used an enameled one. Will post pix when I get it.
I have an enameled cast iron frying pan and a dutch oven. They are nice and you don't have the seasoning hassle on a new pan.

Saw a piece at the flea market in town that I don't need but an interesting piece none the less. Has embossing on one side says Baltimore and on the other side 12 gallon. Guy is asking $115 and no doubt worth it but shipping could be an issue I'm sure. Definitely not something you see too often.
