If you want to see something Rare, here it is!

1883 Selden & Griswold Catalog (Product and Price List).

This catalog has been provided to the Cast Iron Collecting community by George Griswold, Great-Grandson of Matthew Griswold.  The photographs are shown below, as posted on Facebook.

In addition, I have created .pdf files to allow better views of each page and printing capability.  (see clickable links below). 
Enjoy!! and Thank You George!!

Does anybody know if any of the 1883 selden and griswold was gatemarked or had top casting marks. And did it have their names on it. I am just curious. If they didn't put the company name on the pieces back then, someone, as in, some of us,  may have some.

How rare is the bailed griddle pan? I seen one the other day in an antique store that I could get for a fair price. :)

Hey there Mr. Robert I have the Griswold French Waffle iron with three sets of pans and it has the Griswold name on it if that helps answer part of your question.
