Vintage Arc Lodge Single-Notch Raised No 8 Cast Iron Skillet Restored Cond

This is a classic Lodge No 8 cast iron skillet with markers mark "D" from the late-1910s. The cooking surface has patches of fine etching from corrosion (showing up as a dark spot on the cooking surface) and some utensil scoring. These are nearly undetectable as you glide your fingers over a very smooth surface. The very center of the pan bows downward (see photos).

Sheets of printer paper slipped under one edge stops movement on a granite surface. No chips, cracks or repairs and does not spin. Test for flatness of pan. With the pan resting on a polished granite surface, press down all along the top rim of the pan searching for movement. If movement is found, slip pieces of printer paper under one edge of the pan until the pan stops moving.

This item was stripped down to bare metal using collector approved lye bath and electrolysis treatments. This process ensures the removal of all residue from previous use making it safe to use once more. The item is lightly seasoned with one round of Crisco at 450 for 1 hour.
