Additional Information:
- Manufacturer: This griddle was made by the Griswold Manufacturing Company, located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The "ERIE" mark was their earliest and primary brand name, used before they widely adopted the full "Griswold Mfg. Co." marking with the "cross-in-circle" logo.
- Item Type: It is a griddle, characterized by its flat, round cooking surface and shallow sides, designed primarily for foods like pancakes, tortillas, and grilled sandwiches.
- Size #7: The prominent "7" cast into the cooking surface indicates its size. For an Erie #7 griddle, the cooking surface typically measures approximately 9.5 to 10 inches in diameter.
- Pattern Number {737}: The "737" below the size "7" is Griswold's internal pattern number for this specific #7 griddle. These numbers were used in their manufacturing process to identify the molds.
- Heat Ring: As seen in the image, this griddle has a distinct heat ring on the underside, which is characteristic of older cast iron.
- Approximate Dates of Manufacturing:
The presence of the "ERIE" mark is the key to dating this piece. Griswold used the "ERIE" brand from their early days of operation:
- The "ERIE" brand (as opposed to "Griswold") was used from approximately 1880 to 1909.
This is a fantastic piece of early American cast iron, highly valued by collectors for its historical significance and the renowned quality of Griswold's casting, known for its smooth finish and excellent cooking performance.
