Griswold #262 mini corn stick pan
Want help in identifying
those real Griswold #262 Tea Size Corn Stick Pans from the fake/reproduction
ones?? Well here's some help. Look
that the pix below. Notice the rough casting on the Reproduction/REPRO.
Also look at the raised part of the handle underneath and how thick it appears
in the REPRO (see red circled areas). The handle in the REPRO is also more
rounded in appearance. These are tough fakes to identify over the web with
poor pictures shown sometimes, but easy to figure out in your hands. Your
key in identifying the fake/repros are the raised lip around the handle and
the hanging hole (see red circled areas) and the quality of the lettering.
Real Griswold #262's have sharp lettering and a very thin/fine handle lip
around the hanging hole.
Now you can identify the reproductions for the real collectible Griswold
#262.
Some of these
have really bad writing and have two 'hang' holes.
Some times this pan is reproduced with the
#282 or #252 (SNICK PAN) as well and these are also reproductions/fakes.
