I'll have to post these in a series of posts--too many pics. First the Erie Griddle I found the other day.

The 4 in 1 lid. I'd like some pics of what this goes with, if you've got any. I've got some other unmarked hammered skillets it might fit, but I'd like it be authentic.

And these are the grates I got. They're about 20 inches long, 3 inches high and 6 inches wide at their highest point. At least I think they're grates. There are 3 attachment holes (each end and top) and they're open on the bottom and one wide side. Cast Iron, ornate. Very cool. Don't really know why I bought them other than I like them! No marks on them. If anyone knows what they are in more detail, please let me know!

OK, that's it. Didn't post pics of the number 10 chicken Fryer with lid and #10 dutch oven with lid I got at the same place. Both are unmarked. Other than the fact that the dutch oven looks huge, nothing remarkable about them. Got everything for less than $20....Believe I did alright.

Frank, Sorry, no picture here, but the bottom of your 4 in 1 is so unique it's easy to spot. The bottom is a 3" deep skillet with the same handle and hammering style as your's. There is a slotted projection opposite the handle meant to receive the tab which is opposite the handle on yours. Your skillet was made by the Lodge Manufacturing Company in South Pittsburg Tenn.. The only other company that made a simiar hammered double skillet with the same style handle was The Griswold Manufacturing Co., but the bottom of their deep skillet will be marked with the Griswold trademark and a 4 digit pattern number where the bottom of the skillet you need is unmarked.

I may have an extra bottom for your skillet so in the next couple of days I'll look around here and let you know.
