[Ed Allspaugh]

Anyone seen or have other sizes of the red n cream Gris that have this early handle. These skillets are numbers zero, three, and seven. Thanks.

Ed,

I've never seen one in the wild, but they sure are pretty. Is it common  usual to find them in such nice condition, or have you worked on them?

[Marge Knowles]

Ed, checked my reds last night.   they all have the grooved handle.

[Ed Allspaugh]

Bob it's hard to find them in good condition. These are in as found condition, lucky sometimes, just washed them up in the sink.

 Marge thanks for checking your iron.

[Ken Davis]

WOW, Ed! They look brand new and unused.

[Neal Birkett]

Those are nice, better than my 6, which has some wear and scratching on the bottom enamel.

Mine is grooved handle, circa 1955?-57.  Aren't those the so-called late handle 1944-57, rather than the so-called early handle 1939-44?

Thanks, Neal

    Yes, as far as I know that would be correct Neal with the info/dates we have here.
 Here's a nine RnC grooved handle nine skillet I bought at auction few years ago. They are not easy to find. It has some crazing in the finish but no big chips. Was the nicest I had come across, was surprised I won it.
