Cast Iron Hollowware Value

[W. Hilditch]

Not counting any CI found it King Tut’s tomb or from China in 6,000 BC, is there really any significant value to the hollowware produced in the 18th century forward.

I know that my Lodge skillet is worth much more to me than I paid for it. And the Griswold I inherited is priceless. The find you got for $10 that you can sell for $150! Wow! Or you may have 2,000 pieces you think are worth $10@. This isn’t what I’m referring to.

Is there any hollowware out there that has sold for tens of thousands of dollars at Sotheby’s? Or even a $1,000 skillet signed by George Washington on eBay?

What should I be looking for that is worth big money?

There was a 3 spout Lodge sold on Iron Man for something like $1600. Seller finally came out and said it was a $10 flea market find.

That was the only three spout Lodge (or any other maker) I have ever seen. I understand it was a custom pour for famiy members. I dont know if thats true.

There's a three pour spout Griswold. There's also a bailed skillet with one pour spout at 12 o'clock.

The Griswold skillet clocks go for some serious money. The spider logo pans, odd size stuff is all over the place, people asking crazy money and the next guy just asking a lot of money.
