1951 Griswold Offered in Catalog

[Russell Ware]

Here is a page I found recently from a 1951 catalog offering some well known Griswold Cast Iron pieces at their 1951 prices. Just imagine, if the Bunny was only $4.75 back then, think how little the Rabbit Cake Extender would have cost.

A true blast from the past.  Thanks, Russell.

OMG!  Think about it, it would be a human tsunami, like Walmart at 6:00 am on Black Friday.

Quoting from the description of the cake molds:

"We've induced a manufacturer to make them again, just as they were. Smooth cast, easy to use and wash."

I would venture the cake molds and the corn stick pan are reproductions using Griswold p/n's. 
Also, the size of the lamb mold differs from the size shown in the blue book.  No bargain at even half the advertised prices IMO.

Here is part of a 1951 hardware store ad. It has the same two pieces. While the price is a little lower for the lamb, the dimensions are the same. The full page of this ad is labeled "Griswold Cast Iron Cooking Utensils." I don't have a Griswold lamb to measure, so I don't know if these ads round up or down, or if, through time, there were different sizes of lambs produced.There is also a 1959 Griswold Price list floating around here somewhere that I posted. The price for the 866 lamb at that time was $4.95.
