Well I lost that sk, (sheet happens) but I found another just like that one. This one reads on the bottom:
   S.H. Boardman (in arc.)
   Boston Mass.
   Patd.Apr. 7. 91
   Jan 4. 98
This is a odorless sk. w/heat ring and bail handle, one pour spout, tab handle, (ohr) with no gate mark. I would like to know more about this sk. I suppose that the real patd. date is 1891 and 1898 ? Very good thin casting.why is it that the cast iron that I find looks so much better than outher? :-/ This is a good lookin piece.If you are a WAGS member. go to the post on foundries to see the cover, interesting clark

Clark, that is a nice looking skillet. Thanks for sharing it. Lets see now, patented in 98, that makes it about 7 years old, right. ;D

UI'll bite, what is the cavity for next to the left bail? Any more info on the design?

Al, its an odorless skillet. You put a lid on the skillet, and then the skillet, with the lid on it, goes over an open eye of a cookstove. The draw (suction from inside the stove and up the chimney) from the stove sucks out the odors of the skillet, therefore odorless skillet. There are other examples in the Blue Griswold and Wagner Book.

I'll be @#$%^&! Clever. Guess I am just to young -- no I grew up on the left coast and we were cooking with electricity and gas!

Thanks, Al

Roger, thats because Clark and Ed know every mudhole, stomping ground, holler, flea market etc. in the eastern and southern part of Ohio. One of these days I am going to send a peace party their way and we will negotiate a treaty dividing the great state of Ohio. It will be something to the effect of all land east of the mighty Scioto River and east and south to the mighty Ohio will go to them and the opposite to the west for me. As it now stands I do an occasional invasion of their territory under the guise that I am working.

It is a nice piece. Thanks to this forum we all get to enjoy it. Clark, I don't want to get into a hissing match, that h is supposed to be a p, about it, but, I think you ought to send that picture to T.C. so he can use it in whatever way his little heart desires for others to see. Now bear in mind I'm just askin, as I think it is a good idea.

When just about everyone had a pin on the members map, Ohio was covered. Theres a lot of iron hunters here ,you gotta get up dark and early and know all the goings on to beat the serious collectors around here. I like the members map, cool to see where everyones at.
Oh yeah, Clark move your pin you're crowding me. [smiley=wobble.gif]

Ed and Clark, have you guys ever been to the big flea market south of Richmond, Indiana about 30 miles or so. I forget the name of it but anyway, they set up there way before daylight and its over at noon, and its once a week. Big place. I bought my number nine oval griswold roaster there. I was just curious if you had been there or not. Eds talking about how you gotta get up early reminded me of this place. If you get there at 9:00 A.M. its half over and everythings been picked over and looked at a few times. And they are on Indiana time there. It ain't Central, it ain't Eastern, its Indiana time.

That Boardman skillet should have a slightly domed tin cover attached permanently to it. The handle is connected to the cover in such a way that, when the skillet handle is straight up the cover is closed. When the handle is pushed to either side it automatically opens the cover. Nice piece when complete.

I have not been to that one Perry. I see it advertised in Antique Week, but have not been there. Theres a lot of big shows and auctions this weekend.

Thanks Clark, for sharing pictures of this piece. It is a very good looking piece. Now I have something else to look for. I don't know if that is good or bad but my wife has forbid any more pans. But there's the local flea market not far from here this weekend and she's not here this weekend so I guess I'm already in trouble.

Clark Rader · « **Reply #15 on:** September 01, 2005, 04:48:03 PM »

Mark go for it, When I explain to outher people why I have so much cast iron, I say look at it this way, could be drugs beer or cigaretts 8-) you did give up all that for cast iron? >:( . Plus it is easy to get my wife to go with me, and she can collect her stuff. clark

And you can always re-sell the iron if necessary to at least get your $$ back. Better for your health to, unless you get blasted over the head with a skillet.

Mark Ritter · « **Reply #17 on:** September 03, 2005, 03:03:49 AM »

Thanks for the advice. I asked my wife if she would be interested in going this weekend to Burley Park and she said that she would. I don't know if this is the truth or if she's going to just keep a close eye on me. I told her she was more than welcome to come. Everyone knows that two people can carry a lot more cast iron than one can. That one went over like a lead balloon. Oh well, such is life. Some people just don't have a sense of humor.
