Someone local just posted a Griswald skillet for $500. I assumed that was a typo, but looked it up, HOLD CRAP. It’s just cast iron, what on earth makes it so expensive, even compared to Lodge?

I wouldn't expect you to hold someone else's. You are clearly full to the top with your own.

Collector's item I guess.
Is a Griswold cast iron skillet worth anything?
Later pieces of Griswold cast iron history feature a diamond shaped logo on the bottom. The word ERIE is still included inside the diamond. These skillets were produced from 1884 to 1909 at the Griswold Erie PA ironworks. They are less valuable than the earlier pieces, but still highly sought after.
Looked it up too.

I don't know if it is worth $500, but Griswald's are great skillets, DO, etc. I have a 10" skillet from around 1920. It is noticeably lighter than any other 10" CI skillet I have and that includes my new Fields 10" skillet.

My two pieces are 75 to 85 yrs old. That might have something to do with the price of em.Last edited by FireMan; February 13, 2022, 05:39 AM. Reason: Dang spell check. They gotta stick their nose inn every once in awhile. Yrs not hrs.

Your CI is only 74-85 HOURS old…. Are they even seasoned yet?

"what on earth makes it so expensive".............
As it is with most things in an economy.............how long is the line of potential, serious buyers (in other words waving real money not just opinion) who want whatever it is.

Yep... has to do with how hard it is to get for a collector... I once sold a Pez dispenser "Cow" on eBay for $625.
Maybe I should have held it a little longer... https://www.jjpezpal.com/AnimalsNF.html I wonder if that's the one I sold.
Here is another hard to get cast iron... https://www.ebay.com/itm/12464559169...4aAkwtEALw_wcB

What? My griswold is 12†, 4†deep and comes with the lid. Best pan fried chicken CI ever.
note to self: raid the in-laws house again. My FIL seriously has a bin of cast iron in the side yard.
