Anyone here collect Vollrath ?

They stopped production in the 60's. If you're from the Wisconsin area, you may find them in antique stores, or get lucky at a garage sale.

What decade would it be....with a heat ring and Vollrath stamping ? ...1920’s ??

I am by no means an expert, all though I do own my share of cast iron cookware! Castironcollector.com has lots of resources and you might be able to have a member help you date your skillet. It is my assumption that there was a wide period of time where they stamped their name and an even larger period of time where the heat ring was cast. From what I'm able to gather, it is less frequent that you find a Vollrath without a heat ring.

My little 10" Lodge. Thick Angus beef snags with roasted garlic and spices. Looking forward to making my own sausages in the near future.

Just scored a 3rd series ..”ERIE” ..#9 griddle...dates back to 1895.

It’s all cleaned up and in great shape...4 rounds of seasoning.

And gave it to my 22 year old Nephew....he wanted to start cooking with cast iron

Pass that torch on to the next generation.
