#9 slant D O, is this trivet a griswold?

[Robert Bearfield]

i was told that these were all griswold, after looking at them i told the seller that only the DO was griswold. after getting home and checking numbers, i saw that the lid is a griswold according to the 2552, even though there is no griswold name on the lid. which brings me to my question, IS THE TRIVET A GRISWOLD? it has an 8, 9, and 10 on each of the tabs.
got it at the flea and didn't check it till i got home, its a spinner.   BUMMER   :'(      but we can still cook in it.

[size=12]The lid and the oven are both Griswold, and they're both a matched set.  A slant ERIE dutch oven and a lid with only a pattern number and size on it goes together.  The trivet doesn't look Griswold to me.  Griswold did make unmarked trivets, but they still had a Griswold pattern number cast into them (albeit a different one from the same size of Griswold-marked trivet.)[/size]

I have a fully marked Griswold trivet that looks identical to that one except the feet are spaced differently. I can't find a pattern number on it but it does have a 9 between the outer and middle ring of holes. It is from a #9 DO and not in the greatest shape so the pattern number could be pitted away.

I have a Gris 9 Tite-Top DO and have been looking for a trivet for the last year or so..and have looked at many, many of them. They are WAY over priced..on ebay anyway...so I'm still looking.   That would be a clearly marked p/n 207 trivet. Your DO is older, so I couldn't say for sure, but my inclination would be it is not a Griswold trivet. I've never seen any reference to a different #9 DO trivet.  I could be wrong tho.  :-?

I have heard that the 8-9-10 trivets were Lodge.

I have an unmarked 207 trivet with raised numbers instead of embossed.  I do not know the age of it, except that it came in a 9 Slant ERIE DO.

Regarding the lid, I would expect the matched set to have a Slant ERIE mark, such as the one for the mis-marked GIRSWOLD 9 DO cover.  When I have gotten 9 Slant ERIE DOs with covers, the covers have either been marked Slant ERIE, or a complete unquestionable mismatch.

I always thought the PN-only covers were ERIE covers, ie, before the logo trademark.  I have also heard here that lids could be mis-matched from the factory, but nonetheless, I would consider a perfectly-matched 9 DO Slant ERIE oven and cover to both have the logo.

Still a nice DO, even if the cover is "plain."

thanks guys, but i always thought all griswold pans and lids had the griswold name on them. as my lid doesn't have the griswold name on it, i don't think i can assume that that is true anymore. actually i know it isn't, which makes me think that the trivet may be a griswold.
so, how do i prove it is, or how does someone prove it isn't?

 Think Neil hit it...Lodge (1968) Catalog-Early American Style- page #3. They offered a trivet- "fits 8-9-10".  It is listed in the PDF section on the members only side.

[size=12]I guess there's no guarantee that it isn't also a mismatch, but I have a no. 6 slant ERIE DO that has a dome-style lid with just a p/n (2606) and a size, but no logo.  I would say that this oven and lid constitute a match, provided it isn't a flat lid.  Those are an ERIE-era feature, I think.

I still say that the trivet can't be Griswold-made, though.  Even disregarding the markings, the style of the edge-tabs isn't the same between the Griswold-name-marked (204-211) and Griswold-made-unmarked (188-190) trivets that I've seen.  Compare pictures between your 8-9-10 trivet and the 207 trivet shown, or any other Griswold p/n trivet that you happen to have handy.  The Griswold trivets have a more severely sweeping curve where the tabs protrude out from the circumference of the trivet.  The 8-9-10 has shallower tabs.

I don't know who made it, since I don't collect other makes, but I don't think it was Griswold. [/size]
