The difference in Griswold Small logo skillets

[Valerie Johnson]

Hi, I bought the blue book and was going thru it and was trying to see the actual difference in the Griswold small logo skillets, what is the difference between the early handle and late handle and are there small logo skillets with no Erie Pa, with Erie Pa and with Erie Pa USA and what would be the timeline on the 3

Here is a prior discussion with labeled pictures:

Pages 13 and 14 of the Blue Book list the dates associated with each of the three handle styles, as best as has been determined.

The General rule of 'thumb' is that all small block skillets are "Erie, PA".

EPU (Erie, PA. USA) would be older .

The absence of Erie, PA on a piece would be an indicator that it is not a Griswold produced piece, but rather, a piece produced by WAGNER after the buyout.

Hi Cheryl, I still have not mastered the search thingy yet, anyway those pics show much clearer the difference between the early and late handle, The grooved is quite different and even in the little pic in the book I could see the difference but I was having trouble seeing what the actual difference was between the early and late and those pics show it very clear.

Thank you
