Erie Patd Mar. 10, 1891 P/n 786 Yankee Bowl Griswold Cast Iron

Offered is this complete with all original parts, antique cast iron Yankee Bowl, made by the Griswold Manufacturing Co., circa 1925 to 1940's (reference found on page 76 of The Griswold & Wagner blue book). This features a heavy wire bail handle and wire tipping ring, a reinforced flared lip and 2/3's of the way down the outer wall is a reinforcement ring. Impressed marked on the kettle bottom is "ERIE" in parenthesis / PATD. MAR. 10, 91. / 786 (p/n) and 4 (size no.). The kettle lip measures 10-5/8 inches in diameter, standing 6-1/2 inches tall. The weight is 7 pounds 7.9 ounces. Its heat ring measures 5-7/8 inches in diameter. This was designed to fit in a 6 to 8 inch wood stove eye. This is a high quality casting, in excellent, well cared for condition. There is very light fine pitting on the center of the kettle bottom. There are no other blemishes. The bottom shows no sign of warping and it sits perfectly flat with no rocking. The wire handles are in original form with no distorted bends. There are no chips, cracks or gouges and no repairs. I have just thoroughly cleaned this of all grease, rust and carbon with the use of electrolysis, and baked seasoned it with vegetable shortening. This helps prevent oxidation, is safe for cooking and displays beautifully. Sixteen highly detailed photos have been posted for further description.
