Does anyone have any information on the Keystone Grey-Iron Foundry in Pottstown, PA? I have a cast iron porcelain enamel cook ware sauce pan with a paper brochure for Keystone-Ware. It is in great condition and appears to never been used. The exterior is light blue enamel and the interior is light blue enamel with white speckles. Any idea as to a value of such an item? Any info. would be appreciated. Thank you. Holly
 
Keystone Food Chopper was a big Mfg. out of Boyertown, Pa. They may have made some of the pieces you possess.
If you're looking for prices to sell what you have you may check eBay or ETSY to see if any are offered there.
Doubt that anyone here would provide that information since this site is mainly for collectors and CI enthusiast.
Value can be placed on anything that has a demand and popular with collectors and in your case it may be what you're willing to sale it for to make a profit.
 
Holly, I think you found a primo pan there! The unused status plus paper brochure to go with it is what usually makes a collectible "valuable." I love enamelled pans, and I think that one is a real prize, but all of this neat stuff is actually worth what someone will pay for it. Personally, I wouldn't let that one go. Enamelled ware is very easily marked up or damaged in use, so its pristine condition is a big plus. Finding out more about the manufacturer can be frustrating, but a great intellectual challenge. Possibly a reference librarian in your local public or university library could help you search for the info. you want. A lot of material exists out there on the Internet, especially as more local history groups and libraries digitize their printed collections. Good luck on your search!
