It's an early Erie from the 1890s, so in use for over 130 years.
Some griswold cast iron that I use daily.
Wagner and Griswold skillets are my favorite finds.
There's a slant logo Griswold and a 3 notch Lodge on my stove right now, both are older than I. Guessing the Griswold is 1940s
Vintage Griswold or Wagner cast iron cookware. Puts modern options to shame and will last literally forever.
If you find old Griswold or Wagner cast iron at antique stores, yard sales, etc., you will much prefer them over Lodge
