Hammered Skilled Lid ID
« on: November 22, 2013, 09:44:32 AM »
Anyone care to give me a maker on this one?  It is approx an 8 in size. I thought maybe CHF, but the drip rings don't look right

It looks like CHF, deep hammered style. I couldn't tell of any markings from the picture of the inside of the lid.  Usually the shallow hammered lids had a letter on the inside, the deep ones usually have two numbers and a letter.

Are these pieces actually hammered or is the hammering done to the pattern?

That's what I figured. I had a bet with someone that swears it's done on the piece.    :o   
Any other experts want to chime in for insurance?

Common sense argument....
What would happen if you take a hammer to cast iron????

(count the number of pieces of iron laying before you....)

I tried that argument, Cheryl. It left one dent ... in a certain party's head.    8-)

It was done to the pattern.  No way anyone would be able to repeat that hammered pattern time and time again.  There would be no two pieces the same even if it didn't shatter into a million pieces. (which it most certainly would).    ;) ;D

How many hours would that take? I'm imagining a guy with a hammer and a bench, and a few hours a piece, then dont forget the skillets and the DOs that have to be done as well. Sorry but that is funny! Each piece hand hammered! OMG!
