Vintage Griswold Slant Logo EPU No 8 (738B) Cast Iron Handle Griddle Restored For Sale

This is a Griswold No 8 (738) griddle that was manufactured about 1910 to 1920 and is in excellent restored condition. This griddle is visually stunning as it is fully marked with the “Slant EPU” logo and has the desirable “X” reinforcement on the bottom. The cooking surface has hints of utensil scores and some very fine patches of light etching from corrosion. These are undetectable as you glide your fingers over a near glass smooth surface. Four sheets of printer paper slipped under one side of the griddle stops movement on a granite surface. The movement could be attributed to the uneven casting finish of the bottom ring. No chips, cracks or repairs.
Test for flatness of item. With the item resting on a polished granite surface, press down all along the top rim searching for movement. If movement is found, slip pieces of printer paper under one edge of the until item stops moving.
