Antique Cast Iron Gate Marked #9 Pan 135+ years old UNIQUE

Antique Cast Iron Gate Marked #9 Pan - 135+ years old - UNIQUE. The casting/foundry procedures that left gate marks is generally considered to be discontinued by 1890. That would make this pan over 135 years old. When I had my collection hanging both in the kitchen and in the garage, THIS PAN, always got the most attention. It sports a OLD SCHOOL handle repair from back in the days when people HAD to fix things. This pan has a hand forged steel piece for support and 4 large copper rivets. I have no idea when it was repaired but the handle is still VERY SOLID to this day. Ims getting old and letting go my collection. I truly hope this pan finds a good home where people will see and can appreciate the times when things broke and had to be fixed. Can you picture anyone (ANYONE) fixing a broken handle cast iron pan in this age?

This pan has a heat ring, two TINY pour spouts and a very MINOR wobble (I almost missed it when checking it out on glass). I have never cleaned it but on occasion gave it a hard whipe down and coat of food grade meneral oil. I'll be listing a HUGE cast iron collection as I can get to them, look them over and clean/restore if/as needed. Keep a eye out for my listings.

The last 5 pictures in this listing show "most" of the collection and is only shown as reference to the scope of this project and worth keeping a eye on. Sorry, I cant go looking for a certain name/shape/size - there's just to many.

I'll be going through one pile at a time. If you win more than one of my items DO NOT PAY separately.

Good luck - have fun.
