The Birth of a Legend: Erie & Griswold Manufacturing
Before the Griswold name became synonymous with high-quality cast iron, the company was known as the Selden & Griswold Manufacturing Company in Erie, Pennsylvania. Between the mid-1800s and early 1900s, they produced some of the finest cast iron cookware in history under the “Erie” brand, which predated the official Griswold logo.
During this early period, the company experimented with different markings and design variations. One of the rarest and most intriguing designs to emerge from this era was the #8 Erie Spider Skillet, believed to have been made sometime in the 1880s or early 1890s. The unique spider-in-web emblem set it apart from all other Erie skillets and quickly became a prized possession among collectors.
