No#9 Skillet

[Mark Ritter]

This appears to be a Erie pan but no markings except for the A and E under the handle. It does have a faint number 9 on the top handle.

[Mark Ritter]

This is the bottom of the pan.

[Mark Ritter]

This is the top.

[Roger Barfield]

Mark, I have one like that, but it has an H and N on the handle.  No idea who made it, but a very nicely cast skillet.

Mark,
Do you have an original ERIE No.9 skillet of the same style (no pattern number probably) to compare the diameter with your AE skillet?  I would guess your skillet is a copy made from an old ERIE or possibly an early WAGNER skillet.  Copies were often made by foundries or workers in foundries.  If a copy the diameter should be about 1/8" less or slightly more than an ERIE.

This is a link to an Ebay auction of a #9 Erie skillet with no pattern number.   Ask the size.

You will have to ask the person to measure very accurately and to 1/32" if possible.  Remember that many people have no idea of fractions or even how to measure accurately.  And you don't want one of the few who measure iron cookware in .001 inch incrementss either.

And what is wrong with people that measure it down to the .001???   If you want I can get it down to .0005   I don't have any mic's to get it down any closer. ;D

Measuring closer than about 1/32" on iron cookware is insignificant.  The cookware isn't made to such close tolerances so those very fine measurements are meaningless.  Standard variation from grinding or different patterns will show more variation than .01 inch and probably not  even that close.

Yes Steve , I do have on old Erie No#9 skillet but right at the moment I don't have an accurate way to measure it. I will do this tomorrow and get back with you. Sorry, I did find a tape measure and you are correct. It is about 1/8 of an inch smaller than the Erie skillet.
