⚠️ Watch Out For

Check for cracks by tapping with a metal object. A cracked skillet rings dull. Heat warping makes it wobble on a flat surface.

Look for the Griswold name cast into the pan along with a pattern number on the bottom. The large block logo (pre-1940s) is most valuable.

Griswold and Wagner are always worth buying. Generic unmarked cast iron has limited resale value but is still useful personally.
