Lot 343:
Lodge No. 8 Three-Notch Cast Iron Skillet
Sold for: $25
Description
A vintage cast iron skillet manufactured by the Lodge Manufacturing Company in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. This piece features the characteristic three-notch heat ring on the base, a design element specific to Lodge production during the mid-20th century. The underside of the pan is marked with an incised number 8 for sizing and the letters SK, which is the manufacturer model code for a skillet. A smaller incised letter D, representing a molder mark, is located on the opposite side of the base. The absence of a Made in USA stamp indicates a production date between the late 1940s and the mid-1960s. The pan is designed with two pour spouts and a tapered handle with a teardrop-shaped hanging hole.
Top diameter: approximately 10.5 inches.
Condition report:
The skillet is in good vintage condition. The interior cooking surface is dark and shows a well-established seasoning. The exterior base and side walls exhibit typical carbon buildup, patina, and minor surface oxidation consistent with regular culinary use. There are no visible cracks, chips, or warping.
