Very Nice Griswold No. 8, Pattern Number 777, Small Block Logo, deep cast iron skillet/chicken fryer with matching #1098 High Dome Lid. CONDITION: Skillet is in very good vintage condition and has seen alot of use, but has many more years ahead of it. Skillet has subtle tic/wobble at the 10 o’clock position when pushed hard corrected by 1 index card, but otherwise sits flat on hard smooth granite countertop. Cooking surface is smooth with light wear and some very minor micro pitting which will fill in with seasoning with use. Lines on logo and numbering are clean and clear. Lid sits well on skillet with only minimal movement. Skillet does not spin, has no cracks, rust, or repairs. Please see photos as part of description. RESTORATION: This vintage piece of cast iron has been carefully cleaned to bare iron using a combination of electrolysis, lye, and vinegar. It has been seasoned with 4 layers of grape seed oil at 500 degree for a deep, beautiful, patina finish. Rim to rim: 10-1/2 inches. Depth of skillet: 3 inches. Length: (including handle) 15-1/4 inches.
