My latest addition to my Cast Iron collection. This one is destined to be the next "collector's item" because they sell out very quickly when available.
I got this one at the Cracker Barrel in Gurnee, IL. It's a 10.25" model and was "on sale" too! Couldn't pass it up at $17.24! I've looked for a while to get one of these, but they were always sold out. But on a whim after going fishing in Racine, I stopped by to check on my way home and lo and behold, they had a couple of the 10.25" models in stock! The 10.25" size seems to be very similar in size to my old #8 Blacklock skillet that was made between 1896 and 1910.
Sorry for the "fingerprints" on the cast iron. I was too anxious to take the photos and so I did not re-season the skillet first.
