Quick Griswold question

I have the opportunity to pick up a #10 slant logo in good shape for $48... Is it worth it? It needs a good lye bath but that's about it! Comments, concerns or opinions from you guys would be appreciated!

That’s a very fair price if it’s flat and the cooking surface is in good condition. Large skillets are very sought after.

Edit: this one already has 15 bids and there’s still 4 days on the auction https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153471749788

yeah, I've mentioned it before in other threads... 10's aren't exactly 'rare'... they are much more common than 11 - 14's... but for some reason they have been selling higher and higher for the past few years. I've seen small logo 10's sell for over $100 pretty regularly.

I had been looking for a large block logo 10 for a while and large logo's were selling for over $100 all the time... no 'bargain' to be found.. I had a few small logo 10's.. .but wanted it to try to put together a 'set' of large block smooth bottom pans... so I had been watching 10's on ebay and at auctions for quite a while... I eventually found one with a lid for a buy it now of $95... very happy about that... and I found a large block with heat ring for a decent price... still kind of watching for a slant erie 10... but 10's in good condition are very much in demand.. and the prices reflect that. and a slant logo and heat ring would both just add to the value. you could probably sell it on ebay for around $200 if you decided you didn't really want/need it after you got it cleaned up.

​

if you look through ebay sold listings you'll see a couple of small logo 10's that sold for under $100... but other than those... especially the heat ring pans... they are $180 - 300.

what does a lye bath do? just disinfect?

Strips it of old seasoning and gunk so you can start over.
