Corkey, thanks for the info. My Uncle is 98 and 1/2 years old! Does this mean that it is vintage? and well seasoned? Also he is leaving me one of those old metal potato mashers that belonged to his mother. I love stuff like that.

Whoa, 98 and 1/2 - vintage uncle!

I guess there is a good chance that you will have a vintage piece, and yes, it should be well seasoned too, assuming it has been used regularly.

If you look at the bottom of the skillet, the brand name and markings will often give you good clues as to its origin and age.

There are a number of good brands out there, besides Griswold and Wagner.

I love stuff like that too. Good for you Dante, you're so lucky
