Anyone have knowledge on these? Has wapak in small letters (hard to photograph) and a 742 I believe.

Hello John. It appears that an Erie griddle was used as a pattern for your piece. The number 742 corresponds with their #14 bailed griddle (per pg. 317 in the Blue Book). It'll be interesting to see this one after cleaning & seasoning - perhaps there's an "ERIE" ghost present.

I’m curious as to value...first, I’m not sure if this is the place for that question, but it’s difficult to find much on this one...
