\"ERIE\" Griswold 2nd Series Skillet No. 9 D Late 1880\'s w/ Heat Ring Cast Iron For Sale

This is an awesome early Griswold \"ERIE\" 2nd Series Skillet, circa late 1880\'s showing partial rib handle with distinct triangular shaped reinforcement, distinct reinforced lip and outer heat ring. It is a size 9, measuring 11 3/8 inches in diameter, 12 1/4 inches from spout to spout, 16 1/4 inches from end of handle across pan, standing 2 1/4 inches tall and weighing 3 pounds 8.7 ounces.
While taking these pictures, I discovered a very fine 1 1/4 inch long crack, located below the 9 on the bottom of the pan. It\'s almost impossible to detect without a magnifying glass and can not be seen on the top side. There are no other cracks and no chips, pitting, rust or repairs. The pan has been professionally cleaned and seasoned with flax seed oil. This type of seasoning prevents rust, is dry to the touch and creates a non-stick surface that is safe for cooking. Twelve highly detailed photos have been posted for further description.
