Today's Pick

[LL Mixon]

Had a chance to do a little picking today.

Picked up four pieces, being new to the hobby I am always interested in what others think.

Didn't play a lot for the lot so do you guys think these are worth much?

Looks like you had a great day! The spider skillet alone probably is worth way more than you paid. The one on the left is really cool too.

I see gate marks and BSR so I'd say a very good group indeed!

Anyone wanna give me an estimated value or a SWAG (Sertified Wild Ass Guess).

Searching the sold listings on ebay can be a good starting point for unmarked and/or 19th century bottom gated pieces. Here's a spider skillet very similar to yours that sold on ebay December 20 for $90 + $40 shipping.

But what is the one on the left?

I didn't notice until I got outside but the one on the far left was originally a spider leg too, it had the legs removed at some point but had a clear gate mark on it.

So from what I can tell I got two gate mark pieces and two BSRs.

Oooohh! Check out the spider skillet! And the second from the left looks to be a BSR. And a gate mark....Nice find. :icon_thumbsup:

But what are the marks on top of the handle of the pan on the far left?

But what are the marks on top of the handle of the pan on the far left?

I think that says, "10 IN" as in, "ten inches" ?
