Excited to pick this #8 small logo Griswold this week.     Fb Market place find.  Planning for it to my daily driver.  Sooo smooth!

Scored a bucket lister last weekend from a local collector, I had to trade a few to be able to afford it, but hot damn I love it!

P.S. thats my daily driver Griswold LBL #8 in there for reference on how huge this thing is

Recently finished up my first WAPAK! It's a #9 Z Logo. Turned out pretty good! Last 2 pictures are how I found it.

Nice job!   Smooth as glass.  Ready for next several decades of use.

Just picked this one up from a family member who was going to throw it away. It's an unknown foundry from what I've been able to find out. If anyone knows anything about them please let me know. It should clean up nice!

Hard to tell from the pics/condition. How smooth is the cooking surface? smooth surfaces are usually a good sign of older age/quality. Is there an 8 on the top of the handle?

Very smooth cooking surface, raised 8 on top of the handle, smooth bottom / no heat ring. It's old, I'm told it was my sister in laws great grandmother's.
Here's a picture of the back of the handle.

@Zrschaef,

To my knowledge those are commonly known as SMS or Southern Mystery Skillets. Information is pretty limited on them, but you can learn more with a google of "Southern Mystery Skillet"

We had our first cool front come through southern louisiana Saturday night, bringing temps below 60F, which means its officially gumbo weather!

Put my Griswold LBL #10 dutch oven to work yesterday morning! My roux and gumbo came out fantastic for the first one of the season.

Chicken and sausage gumbo getting started
