UNIGriswold cast iron skillets fetch up to $3,300 at auction on rare marks
Vintage Griswold and Wagner skillets with scarce logos or the rare No. 13 size can sell for four figures, while most second-hand pans trade for $20 to $400, Bitcoin.com News reports.
Why it matters: The story shows how specific maker marks and scarce production runs can turn ordinary second-hand goods into four-figure collectibles, a pattern collectors watch at auctions.
Key points
- A No. 13 slant-logo skillet, pattern 720, fetched $2,600 at the same sale, and similar pans made $3,200 and $2,400 at a November 2025 auction in Montgomery, Indiana.
- Collectors estimate fewer than about 200 legible Erie Spider skillets survive; one sold for $10,000 at auction in August 2024.
Griswold Manufacturing of Erie, Pennsylvania, and its rival Wagner Manufacturing of Sidney, Ohio, made most of the collectible pieces. Common examples of both brands typically sell for $20 to $400, while rarer items reach $1,500 to $3,000 and above.
Collectors believe fewer than roughly 200 legible examples survive, because the raised emblem wore down with use.
The Griswold No. 13, a 14-inch pan, is also sought after. Superstition about the number and its place between the No. 12 and No. 14 sizes kept production low.
