Nickel Plated? Griddle...Hammered.
« on: October 17, 2015, 11:36:21 PM »
Hi everyone, I grabbed a hammered griddle that's nickel plated I think.  It's got some markings on the bottom.

I can see one "9" clearly and another "9" but just the top half of it.  That's all I can see for markings. 

I can't find it in my blue Griswold book.  So it's not a Griswold, but what is it?  Do you guys know?

That makes it a definite antique right?  Didn't CHF stop making pieces in 1909?

Regardless this griddle is amazing, my eggs and pancakes slide across it like they're figure skaters.  I love it

Chicago Hardware Foundry bought out Favorite Piqua in 1934. Don't know their exact years of operation though.  It's a great piece.
