The Small Block Logo is the most common Griswold mark (c.1939–1957), so these skillets are the affordable entry point for collectors. A No. 8 in good, flat, crack-free condition typically sells for about $25–$80; smaller and larger sizes and cleaner examples vary around that. Because they were made in large numbers, condition and size drive the price more than rarity — a flat, well-seasoned pan with no cracks or pitting sells at the top of the range, while warped, cracked or heavily pitted pans sell well below it.
What drives the value
Condition
Flatness, no cracks/pitting, even seasoning — the dominant factor for a common logo.
Size number
Common Nos. 6–8 have steady demand; scarce small/large sizes shift the range.
Recent sold comparables
Sold prices from public auctions and estate sales; values fluctuate by rarity and condition. Where public sales are thin, ranges are hedged, not firm.
Care & conservation
Clean and re-season; avoid grinding the surface. Originality beats a shiny over-restored finish.
Frequently asked
Why is the Small Block Logo worth less than the Large Block?
It was produced later and in far greater numbers (c.1939–1957), so supply is high. Rarer earlier logos command more.
What size Griswold is most desirable?
The No. 8 is the most useful everyday size and has the broadest demand; unusual small (No. 3) and large (No. 12+) sizes can command premiums.
