Toy BRIGHTON skillet
« on: March 22, 2009, 08:16:05 PM »
I found a toy BRIGHTON skillet at a junk shop last week.  It is about the same size as my Griswold Size Zero toy but it weighs a little more.  Does anyone know anything about this little guy like who made it?  How old?  ETC.
Thanks!

Hello Brian, I see that this is your first post here. Well, I can't say that I have ever heard of that little skillet before, but, I might recognize it if I was to see it, so if you can possibly post a picture of it, I am sure that would help. I saw a Wagner Toy Tea Kettle today, they sure were proud of it, 295.00, (two-hundred and ninety-five dollars) whoweeeeeee thats high.  ;D

That could be an advertizing skillet.  Maybe Brighton paid someone to make a batch of skillets with their name on it as gifts to customers.

Did the Brighton Toy Skillet look like this?  They also made other items.

Recently found an old Brighton coffee grinder that belonged to my great Grand Mother. All there 'cept for the crank. Looking for one :-/
