Vintage Victor #7 skillet, made by Griswold in Erie, PA, between 1920-1935. This is the fully marked version, the most desirable version of the Victor line. The bottom of the skillet reads Victor/Cast Iron Skillet/ The Griswold MFG. CO.,/ 721/ 7/ Erie PA USA. The top is marked with a 7 on the handle in the unmistakable Griswold font.
Victor skillets are shallower and lighter than even a traditional Griswold of the time, making them easy to use. It is beautifully smooth like Griswold is known for. Measures 14.5" in overall length including handle, 9.5" across, and is 1.75" deep, slightly shallower than most #7 pans. It weighs 2 lbs 14 oz, very lightweight for its size.
