ANTIQUE 7" ERIE PENNSYLVANIA GRISWOLD AMERICAN CAST IRON STOVE PIPE DAMPER WITH STEEL SPINDLE #1427

• In mint condition! Excellent for age!
• Most available are covered in rust and broken, NOT OURS.  One like ours is extremely rare to find in this condition, looking almost like new old stock. The spindle has a tiny bit of rusting, but the damper is in amazing condition.  Check it out!
• 7" wide cast iron circular damper size is also really hard to find.  Since this is used to control air flow, this is really important for anyone who needs it for its intended use.  For those that are repurposing it, the larger size is a terrific display piece.  
• The front and back sides are embossed with important information, like its name, size, patent numerals, that it’s reversible, and has a steel spindle.  
• 10.5" wide with handle x 7" diameter of pan x 0.75" deep
• From the 1860s to the 1950s, Griswold made all sorts of cast iron tools and hardware for the household in Erie, Pennsylvania. From the very beginning,   they had a great reputation for making quality products that lasted a LONG time, as is obvious by the looks of what still is collected today because it’s in such great condition and goes to work in a modern home just like it did in days gone by.  I found a site called Kitchen Sanity that has some terrific information at this link that’s well worth a read.  https://www.kitchensanity.com/cookware/griswold-cast-iron/
