Description

This vintage American cast iron skillet was produced by the Favorite Stove and Range Co. of Piqua, Ohio. The exterior underside features a molded, partially ghosted Smiley logo consisting of an oval containing the words FAVORITE, PIQUA, and WARE. The base is further marked with an incised number 8 and letter E. The skillet incorporates a smooth interior cooking surface, two integral pour spouts, and a teardrop-shaped hanging hole in the handle. The design includes an outside heat ring. A collector tag attached to the handle attributes the piece to the period of 1916 to the 1920s.
