    A gate mark is where the molten metal was poured in the mold. When finished it was ground down leaving a fairly straight line mark on the bottom of the skillet. These are very early pieces from before 1900 or so. Most say they date from 1875 and before.

    Look on the bottom of this skillet, it is a gate marked skillet.

    Just finished up a Good Health #6 and a Victor #8. Both were made by Griswold.

    Gene, how is it cooking for you ? I've got a collectible Griswold, and a collectible Wapak with the Indian head. They probably don't cook fried chicken any better than your Lodge but they cost quite a bit more than a newer pan. As my old AA sponsor used to say ....... "Wants and needs ....... do you have what you want ? No, how about what you need ?" ,,,,,,,, Just sayin', cookware can become as big an AD as razors, and take up a lot more space ........ ask me how I know ....
