3 questions:
Is it a hundred years old?
What shape is it in?
When did you buy it?

Pretty much #5 and up are in demand in pristine condition. Also, part of consideration of value is presence of the heat ring, flatness of bottom, and logo, to mention a few.

1. I got it at a garage sale, so I don't know how old it is, but I doubt that it's 100. The texture on the bottom is only worn smooth on the outside inch or so. It has a 724 and an H under the Erie PA stamp that is under the Griswold logo on the bottom if that means anything.

2. It's in good shape. Due to be seasoned again, but isn't warped or damaged in any other way.

3. I got it last summer.

It's flat and in good shape. Probably not pristine though. It has honest wear on the bottom and the handle.

Set them free again
