I've got a Griswold #14 I paid $175 for from a private owner that was winning pizza contests with it.
Had to drive 120 miles round trip to get it, but I was extremely happy.
That dude was one of the most eccentric collectors I ever met but boy, did he have some cool stuff.
That's a score! If it's in good condition that's a $500 skillet...
Cinch, It was in excellent condition. I've used it mostly for sauteeing vegetables, cornbread, and large batches of bacon or sausage when I'm making potato salad, stuffing, or a big breakfast. Really comes in handy around the holidays. Should use it more often than I do. I mostly use my #9, when it comes to day to day.
