Blue book says cover was an option.. That info must be in an early Gris catalog.. I don't see how it would work proper without cover..
Ed, I have three Griswold Catalogs, that are what I would say are old. The 1890/91 Catalog, the 1895/96 catalog, and the Blue Circa 1904 catalog, and neither one of them have the "odorless skillet" in them, nor even mentions them. Now they do have the broiler in them, and they are show with a tin lid, that is optional, but no "odorless skillets", I wonder whats up with that? :-/
