$4.00 Giswold #12 Block / EPU with lid

[Lee Sumner]

Picked this up at an auction last week for $4.00 wasn't very many people there so the auctioneer ask if anyone was interested on bidding on something to tell one of the workers and they would bring it up to be bid on. I was the only person to bid on this and one other piece a square pan got both for $8.00 ;D But there is a problem with the skillet it has a crack on the right side of the pour spout which is a shame but with the knowledge from the fine folks here on Wags and the BB i knew the lid was worth more than the skillet. Think I did pretty well ;)

Yeah, I think that lid might be worth a little more than $4.00 ;D ;) ;D

They both look like they'll clean up nice AND you can still use that skillet as long as the crack isn't a big gaping one.

Very nice Lee! I'll take that #12 skillet off your hands for $2.00 - just so you don't have to worry about it.  :)

[Lee Sumner]

I think they will clean up pretty good. unfortunately the crack goes all the way down the side to the cooking surface :'( I can hold it up to light and see through it so i reckon I'll just clean it up for a display.

That lid is $100 to $125 all day long on Ebay.   Nice buy. ;)

That #12 sk. will make a nice dust pan, cut it all the way across ::)

Sounds like some of the auctions I've been to latley Lee. Great buy. Now if I had been there.......  ;) .  I like when there aren't many people at an auction.  :) :) :)

[Jeff Seago]

That's a sweet deal you got Lee.  Nice work.  I would have bought that skillet and lid for $8!!

That's encouraging Will :) But i have a question. Is it unusual to have to pat dates on it.?

I just looked at a few auctions on Ebay.   Seems about 50/50 with patent dates.   So I would say no.

Sure wish I could find these auctions where not many attend. There are always two or three regular iron pickers. Then I have to deal with Clark  ;) Great buy LEE!!

Excellent work Lee - nice lid for $4  ;)

That's a block not a slant though. I think I paid about $100 for my low dome smooth #12 lid, 472PN Large Block EPU.  Mine doesn't have the patent markings like yours either.

I too paid $100 for my low dome #12 smooth lid.

Ray you are correct, thanks for pointing that out I musta  been excited at the time of this posting  ;D and wasn't paying attention i should have known better ;) Going to be on the lookout for another skillet for this lid since this one is cracked.  

[Ray Benash]

That's a nice lid - probably harder to find than the #12 skillet to go with it.

Lee, i can take that great looking lid off your hands it would go great with my skillet...they are meant to be together don't keep them apart any longer :'(  I'm tried of seeing my skillet so lonely...she needs her mate... :-/
