Nice job Chuck. I have never seen that style "ERIE" before.

I couldn't find it in the books. Not sure what the story is with it. Looks like it was a transition piece from ERIE to Griswold. Sort of like the first pic I have posted. Lookin' for help on this one.

That IS a unusual looking Erie, Chuck.

Could you... would you, post a side shot? The top view makes it appear that the side of that skillet have a greater angle than other "Erie" skillets. I'm also curious, does it have a "lip" around the outside top?

Thanks to all, and Michelle, I can't get any pics tonight, but they have the regular skillet sides. I noticed what you're talking about when I posted them. They do have a slight flare on the top edge, but no more than normal. I hope to post tomorrow night. My PC is running on borrowed time. The CPU cooling fan crapped out and needs replacing. I have to see if I can find one tomorrow. If not, I can use my Sons laptop, but can't post pics without loading the software on it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my PC. Hope it don't crash and burn.  ;D ;D ;D

Very nice  skillets Chuck. Like Perry I haven't seen the "ERIE" before. It looks like it has never been used. All the markings or so crisp and sharp. Thanks for posting.
