Sidney Hollow Ware #9, 11 Cast Iron Skillet, Restored

Sidney Hollowware #9, 11 cast iron skillet. There are no cracks, breaks, etc...

Cleaned up fine, but I think this piece was originally plated. Vast majority was / is gone, but causes some color variation in the seasoning where the plating is very thin. "Well used" skillet so there may be / is / are a casting flaw, utensil marks, staining, light etching, scratches, etc. Has not been used since the restoration process. Photos were taken outdoors in natural light and are a big part of the description.

Nothing crazy, but has some movement on a hard/ flat/ level surface. The cook surface has a bit of an uneven subtle upward bow. I've restored hundreds of pieces of cast iron cookware. All go through lye to remove any crud, organic material, seasoning, etc.

Then I run them through the electrolysis process to remove any corrosion, rust, impurities, etc. They are scrubbed by hand using dish liquid, stainless steel scouring pads, stainless steel brushes, and magic erasers under cold water to bring them back to the bare metal finish. Finally, all pieces are run through three rounds of seasoning using vegetable shortening. Cast iron cookware will last hundreds of years and generations if properly taken care of.

These are beautiful, heirloom quality pieces made right here in the USA. Will be bubble wrapped and surrounded by packing material to ensure that they don't shift in transit. They are not making cookware like this anymore, and I would consider it tragic if anything were to happen to these in transit. Just contact me before to make sure we can make arrangements that work for both of us and I'll add the option to the listing. If you have any questions, need additional pictures, or anything else please message me.

Thank you for viewing this listing.
