Lot 344:
Vintage Lodge No. 7 Cast Iron Skillet with 3-Notch Heat Ring
Sold for: $30
Description
A vintage American-made cast iron skillet manufactured by the Lodge Manufacturing Company of South Pittsburg, Tennessee. This size No. 7 skillet features an inset heat ring with three distinctive notches located at the 12, 6, and 9 o clock positions, a design characteristic of Lodge production from the mid-20th century. The underside of the pan is marked with an incised number 7 denoting the size. It also features molder marks including a number 2 within a rounded square to the left of the size mark and a capital letter D within a rounded square to the right. The skillet is constructed with two integral pouring spouts and a handle with a teardrop-shaped hanging hole. The interior cooking surface is factory-ground smooth. The absence of a MADE IN USA stamp suggests a production date between the 1940s and the mid-1960s, although an accompanying tag suggests a date range of 1940-1990.
Condition report:
The skillet is in good vintage condition with a dark, well-established seasoned patina. There is typical surface wear and minor carbon buildup on the exterior base and side walls consistent with age and use. No cracks, warping, or major defects are visible.
