Hi John – The writing on the back of the skillet is difficult to even make out in person! Looks like it says 8&9 HFC. Then there’s something else on the bottom and the date June 10, 1879 – but really difficult to discern. -Amy

Hello,
Just wondering, what are the letters on the bottom of your skillet? I can’t quote make them out.
Thanks!

I have no problem with the INSIDE of my skillet. My problem is how do I remove all the burned on gunk on the OUTSIDE of the skillet.
It is one I bought in a thrift store and I use it a lot. Just wish it were shiny and seasoned all over. HELP.

I think that it is the most durable and long lasting cookware out there even when it has been abused it can be brought back to life with a little tender loving care. Try abusing a non stick, enamel coated, all clad or stainless steel cookware and you might as well chuck it. I know of cast iron skillets and Dutch ovens that have been passed down through 2 generations and are know in the hands of the 3 generation and are still a pleasure to cook in. When you look at an old cast iron piece of cookware just think of all the history that is before you!

The log cabin may not be rooted in America, but the cornbread certainly is :)
