I was off today so I went to the local antique mall just to look around. Glad I did too. I came across this bizarre-looking skillet and started to wonder if it were a fake.
You'll want to enlarge the image to see it, but a couple of things I have never seen before.
(1) There's a screw in the underside of the handle. Or what looks like one anyway, but I looked all over the handle and couldn't figure out why? The handle to the skillet appears to be one solid piece.
(2) Check out the logo. That is odd. The top half of the Griswold "cross" is gone. Not faded, not damaged. It's just GONE. It doesn't exist. I've seen damaged pans before but even then you could always see some trace of the emblem. This appears to be an incomplete emblem.
(3) There is a "K" on the bottom of the skillet handle and (I forgot to take a pic) the number 3 on the top side did not appear to be the standard Griswold block numbers that I am used to seeing.
Am I seeing this right? Is it just me, or have you guys ever seen a pan like that before? I wanted to share it here on the forum because I was really perplexed by it. Any thoughts?
