those circular griddles seem to be collector$...glad i don't have one on my 'to get' list Some time back, I bought about 10 of the ching chong ding dong round griddles and gave all but 1 to friends and kept the 1 for my own use. It sanded up nicely and gets used often for pancakes and the occasional baloney sandwich. I have a fair assortment of CI, some I could probably sell for over a hundred to the rabid collectors, and some like the round griddles I paid $3.00 and some odd apiece. They all cook just dandy, none better than the next

They all cook just dandy, none better than the next i bought all my stuff in the 90's, except for a recent griddle purchase. Can't believe what they are asking now in antique shops, [bleep] is worse still. guess u can't say ett see

I’d guess I have around 50 pieces. Used to have tonnage lol. I’ve been trading more common stuff for harder to find stuff. These two came from such a trade. Fats called me a snob but I like them 🤓 edit, sse now too! And I agree, the older Griswold, Wagner , favorite along with others are priced outrageously in most antique stores.

No way I’d pay anything close to that.. I trade with the guy pretty often and he said someone bought it for $400. So blame that guy! 😜

i have no interest in the Lodge 'theme' CI...all of the relief wording and decoration on the bottom would collect grease and grit something fierce

And FYI you’re partly to blame sending me down this slippery slope of collecting. A few years ago I was trying to season my ugly Lodge and posted it in here and you made fun of my work! I got seasoning figured out now so I guess I should thank you too.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.
