'ERIE' skillets are early Griswold pieces made before the familiar cross-in-circle logo, generally dating to the 1880s–1900s. Values range widely by exact variant, size and condition: common later ERIE pieces sell in the tens of dollars, while scarce early variants and unusual sizes reach the hundreds. Because dating depends on subtle marking differences, correct identification of the ERIE variant is key to the estimate. Condition — flatness, no cracks, no pitting — remains the biggest single price factor.

Frequently asked
Is an ERIE skillet older than a logo Griswold?
Generally yes — the ERIE marking predates the cross-in-circle logo, placing many ERIE pieces in the 1880s–1900s.
Are all ERIE skillets valuable?
No — common later ERIE pieces are modestly priced; only scarce early variants and unusual sizes reach the higher end.
