BSR #8 Made It Through Electrolysis

[Nick_N]

Well, after much worry and concern, my BSR #8 survived my first attempt at electrolysis. Voila !

Looks like you did a fine job to me. :icon_thumbsup:

good job. electrolysis sounds complicated but once you do it a few times it will become second nature.

Great job NickN. I have a BSR #8 too! One of my late grandmothers gave it to me 35+ years ago, They are thick and heavy compared to some other brands. I recently acquired a #9 Martin and it is thick and heavy like a BSR. BSR is a underrated brand by collectors, in my opinion.

Hey, great looking skillet there, Ed. Mine is in the oven right now, as I type, with a load of roasting veggies. It belonged to my Mom, and was probably purchased back in the very late 40's, or more likely, the 50's. I'm really glad I took the time to completely restore it. It was really gunked up, but the electrolysis has brought it back to life. :-D

My understanding of the markings on that one date its manufacture as being in the mid '60s.

Thanks. I use my BSR on steaks mostly. I'm thinking about building an etank. I use the lye tank. Anyway, enjoy!

Hey Eric, Thanks for the reminder. You are indeed correct on that being from the '60's. I had another another skillet in mind, when I made that comment. Thanks for keeping us straight !
