Griswold No. 8 cast iron skillet, large block logo
A vintage Griswold No. 8 skillet from Erie, Pennsylvania, prized by cooks who prefer the lighter, smoother old castings to modern iron. Price swings widely on the logo style, whether the pan sits flat, and how much of the original factory finish survives.
Estimated resale range (used)
$55 – $140
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Check the bottom for the Griswold cross-and-oval logo and the pattern number to identify the series
- Set it on a flat surface to see if the base spins or rocks, since warping is common and kills value
- Look at the cooking surface for pitting, heavy rust or a badly uneven reseasoning job
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
