Would love to see a pic. This might help, in determining any questions you may have.

Not my speciality but I think Griswold is a little older and more valuable than Wagner.  All have different marks on the reverse or stove side which I think determine it's age/rarity.  Usually the larger the skillet the more it's worth.

Yes, picture of full top view and picture of logo on bottom. A 16”er is a nice one and seldom seen. Also post its height or depth dimension. The “deep” ones are sometimes called “chicken fryers”. With iron skillets, the big ones, the odd ones and the wee little ones are the most sought after.

Years ago I had a friend who had a “tin” camp skillet, an “egg fryer” he called it, that must have been at least 20” in diameter with a 2’ handle on it. What a beauty that one was. He used it whenever we would go trout fishing, ….. catch, clean, fry n’ eat them there right on the river bank.

I have a Griswold ‘00’ brass “ashtray” skillet which is 3 ½” in diameter with a slotted projection to hold “book matches” and 2 projections for laying a lit cigarette on. I have never checked the “going price” for said.

I have another wee brass skillet that is 2 ¾” diameter, with impressed marks on the bottom – John Wright, a copyright mark and the number 3. A novelty item me thinks.

Agree with the others comments....the larger the pan the more to it's value.  You see the 10" often but not the larger.  Also the deeper the skillet the more $$$.

Cogar My 1993 Griswold cast iron price guide values your '00' ashtray skillet at $75.00

Why thanks Wendy. That made the wife smile when I told her that.

Now I'll be wondering if 16 years of inflation has increased that value any.
