Puritan Hand Griddles Set Information
« on: March 09, 2017, 09:35:23 AM »
Yesterday I acquired a couple of Puritan brand round Hand Griddles. I know they are from the Griswold company but my question is how many are in the set.

I have a set of the Griswold marked Hand Griddles 6-10.

Who else has the Puritan marked griddle and what number do you have? [ch129312]

Bobby, I'm taking the liberty of posting your photo onto our server.  Off-site picture hosting services have proven to be unreliable.

Howdy Bobby!

Glad to see you came on over to visit!

A helpful hint... when posting from Dropbox, instead of copying and pasting the link into the post....

Click attachment...then browse... and paste the dropbox link there... it should pull the photo in from Dropbox.

I don't have any Puritan Handled Griddles, but hopefully someone that does will stop by!  :)

I resized the file before posting.  However, if you click on the picture above it will enlarge.

[size=12]I have a Merit No. 8, and I've seen a Puritan No. 9 like the one that you've shown on the left above.  I think that consensus has it that Merit was a later re-branding of Puritan, since the Merit ware and the Puritan ware are otherwise identical, down to the style of writing and the p/ns.  There's a good thread somewhere on this forum where people who had studied Sears catalogues had presented their evidence for why Puritan came first, followed by Merit.

Since the Puritan/Merit No. 10 skillet was a p/n 1506, I doubt that there were any (Griswold-cast) Puritan handle griddles smaller than the size 8, p/n 1507.  For the same reason, not to mention the fact that the regular Griswold handle griddles rarely went above a size 10, I doubt that there were any Puritan/Merit handle griddles made above a size 10, since the p/n sequence ran to the size 8 long griddle with p/n 1510.

So, if you get a size 8, I think that you can be confident that you have a complete set of Griswold-cast Puritan Handle griddles.

I think that the Good Health line made a size 8 and a size 9 only in handle griddles, and the Iron Mountain line has at least those two sizes, in case you're interested in other off-label Griswold.[/size]

Great info! Thanks.
