RARE NO. 8 FANCY HANDLE 1800'S CAST IRON SKILLET WITH TULIP HANDLE & GATE MARK For Sale

VINTAGE 1800'S TULIP HANDLE CAST IRON FRY PAN NUMBER 8. WITH SINGLE POUR SPOUT WITH GATE MARK. PRONOUCED SMOKE RING. APPEARS THIS PAN SPENT SOME TIME ON A WOOD STOVE IN A COVER OPENING AS THE INSIDE BOTTOM IS NOT FLAT. THIS COULD BE FROM THE MOLD OR JUST THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT SPENT ON THE OPENING RING OF AN OLD COOK STOVE. THE PAN HAS BEEN CLEANED AND IS READY FOR USE OR DISPLAY AS IT HAS NO REPAIRS, NO RUSTING, SMOOTH COOKING SURFACE, BUT DOESN'T SIT FLAT WHEN PLACED ON A PIECE OF GLASS. I DON'T REALLY FEEL THAT IT HAS A CRACK BELOW THE HANDLE BUT LOOK AT PICTURES 9 AND 10 AS I TRIED TO GET A PICTURE OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE SKILLET AND YOU BE THE JUDGE EVERY THING ELSE LOOKS GOOD. CHECK OUT THE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS E-MAIL ME AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
