Antique Near Mint Condition No. 7 Cast Iron Fancy Handled Griddle. This Handled Griddle was manufactured around 1915-1920s, unmarked. The cooking surface still has the Original Factory Smooth Satiny Cooking Surface you would expect from a early piece of cast iron. This cast iron handled griddle is unlike the rough pebbly cooking surface you find in the newer line of pans they make today, very rare to find.
Photos - We had 2 of these same exact fancy handled griddles, 1 sold and 1 still remaining only, very scarce to find today in this rare size and condition a beauty.
Markings - None
Dates - Manufactured between 1915 - 1920s
Condition - Professionally Cleaned and Seasoned Organically, using only food grade products with Organic Oil.
Our seasoning starts with a cleaned to the bare cast iron metal. This makes all our Cast Iron Free of Rust, Layers of Old Blackened Baked on Grease, Food, and Oil, No Breakage, Chips, Cracks or Repairs at All. I believe that this pan had very little use during the years. The cooking surface has No deep scratches and only 1 small casting flaw, as seen in photo #1. I would grade the cooking surface at Near MINT Used Vintage Condition. This griddle sits Flat with No movement, front to back, and around a dimes worth of movement left to right. It has been acknowledged that some cast iron came from the foundry this way. This should not be an issue with a gas or an electric stove at all. The cooking surface still has the Factory Smooth Satiny Cooking Surface which is very rare to find from a piece being this early. The woman I purchased this from told me that it hung in her mothers kitchen wall for many years, so it saw very little use. This wonderful griddle skillet is ready for use for years to come, right out of the box.
A word about Cast Iron Seasoning; If you are purchasing cast iron which you have read elsewhere that has been all seasoned, that seasoning should not be sticky or tacky at all. That is Not seasoning.
A word about Color; The color after just 2 seasoning coats makes the cast iron cookware piece Black looking, Not Gray. That is a sign that the piece has not been seasoned properly. Before you season a piece of bare to the metal cast iron it is grayish in color from the cleaning. That is the color of clean cast iron grayish looking, lighter to darker bare metal. Also some pieces have the polished / milled cooking surface which can be shiner grayish metal before seasoning. The older the piece the darker it can be, no two pieces of cast iron are exactly the same color.
What did your Grandmothers cast iron look like? Black A good seasoning should have no runs, not be blotchy in appearance and have the same overall color.

Part of who we are, and why we do it our way.
We live in Northern Vermont and our farm is Vermont Certified Organic. We are members of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont. We believe you are what you eat. So our aim is to do everything we can to promote good heathy living, whether for ourselves or for our customers.
We make our pure Vermont Maple Syrup here on our farm. We believe most (We cannot speak for others) pure Vermont Maple syrup is basically Organic and have chosen not to have our sugar bush certified organic, but we use all organic practices.
We never use any chemical, pesticide, or herbicide products on our trees or during the syrup boiling process at any time in our sugarhouse ever.
This takes you to our cast iron cookware explanation of: "Professionally Cleaned and Organically Seasoned". There are a lot of ways to clean and season cast iron. We have chosen to only use Organic and Food Grade cleaning and seasoning products. As stated above, you are what you eat. We also collect and use cast iron cook ware, it is cleaned and seasoned the same way that we offer it to you are customer. There is a very time consuming process to cleaning and seasoning cast iron. There is the science and the chemistry behind the process and the products that one uses. You never just throw cast iron into a hot fire, good way to warp or crack it. There is chemistry at work in the products that one uses in cleaning and seasoning. You have cleaners that have high metals in them and are carcinogenic inside your body. You also have hard and soft oils, you need to know what polymerization is and so you need to start with the right cleaning products and finish with the right oil. We use an Organic Oil that is an Omega-3 Supplement.
Our care instructions will be included, how to use and care for your cast iron for years to come.
