No. 8 Cast Iron Skillet — 8 Inch, Double Pour Spouts, “E” Handle Mark

Offered is a vintage No. 8 cast iron skillet, marked “8 INCH SKILLET” on the underside, with a raised “5” at the handle base and a smaller “E” on the handle stem. This pan features double pour spouts, a smooth interior cooking surface, and a classic teardrop-shaped handle with open hanging slot. Measuring 8 inches in diameter, it reflects mid-20th-century American foundry craftsmanship, likely dating from the 1940s to 1950s.

While unmarked by maker, its refined form and casting style align closely with skillets produced during this era by major foundries such as Wagner, Lodge, or Birmingham Stove & Range—companies known to have manufactured unbranded pieces for hardware stores and general retailers. Collectors and cooks alike appreciate these skillets for their balanced weight, even heat distribution, and enduring quality.
