NOTE: This pan has a bubble off the right side of center, causing it to spin. This is very common in Wapak skillets, with flaws, warps and sand-shifts often being a part of their charm. This skillet will NOT work on glass but it would be great on gas or electric coil!
If you haven‘t seen a \"ghost marking\" on a vintage or antique skillet, you should check out this Wapak #9 Cast Iron Skillet! Back when these skillets were made, one of the most expensive parts of the casting process was the patterns that were used to hand manufacture them. Wapak‘s, made in Ohio in the 1900‘s were known for their reuse of patterns, and often as a result a \"ghost\" mark, a faint indicator of who originally created the pattern would emerge. The center of the pan has a distinct 701 code from a 3rd series Erie and the ERIE arc logo is visible as well! Ready for use or for to display. A great storyteller skillet to own!
