Description

This is a classic Favorite No 9 cast iron skillet. Favorite skillets were only made for a few years, 1916 to 1935 and are now about 90 to 100 years old. T he cooking surface still retains its original factory polishing marks with just a few patches of fine etching from corrosion. While these are visible in the photos, they are undetectable as you glide your fingers over a near glass smooth surface. This skillet is in excellent restored condition and you would be hard pressed to find a better example. Two sheets of printer paper slipped under one side of the pan stops movement on a polished granite surface. No chips, cracks or repairs and does not spin. Test for flatness of skillet. With the skillet resting on a polished granite surface, press down all along the top rim searching for movement. If movement is found, slip pieces of printer paper under one edge of the until pot stops moving. This item was stripped down to bare metal using collector approved lye bath and electrolysis treatments. This process ensures the removal of all residue from previous use making it safe to use once more. The item is lightly seasoned with one round of Crisco at 450 for 1 hour.
