Interwar Peak (1918–1945) · Skillet
Used price$100–$220live on eBay
The roughly 12 inch skillet in Vollrath's cast iron line from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Fully marked pans read VOLLRATH WARE with the size number, often turned sideways on the bottom; unmarked later pans can be recognised by Vollrath's teardrop handle end with a raised hump and a long reinforcing rib underneath, and many have an outside heat ring. No. 10s are listed far less often than No. 8s. Because Vollrath castings are comparatively light and this is a large pan, warp is the biggest risk: ask for a photo of it pressed on a flat counter and check it doesn't rock or spin. Also look for hairline cracks from the rim and near the handle, spout chips, and pitting. Confirm the 10 on the bottom — searches for this pan often return No. 8s.
Common defects to inspect
Warp (the main risk at this size); hairline cracks; spout chips; pitting; No. 8s mislisted as No. 10s
Note: None were listed in the latest snapshot; this band is a catalog estimate based on No. 8 prices. A saved search is the realistic way to catch one.
How to identify a real Vollrath
VOLLRATH WARE with a size number on the bottom, often oriented sideways (90 degrees from where other makers placed marks). Unmarked pans are identified by the handle: a teardrop-shaped end with a raised hump on top and a long reinforcing rib underneath; many skillets have an outside heat ring. Enameled pieces should show no chips through to bare iron.
Buying guide
From Sep 25, 2026 listings
No Vollrath No. 10 skillet is listed right now. The search returned two Vollrath No. 8 skillets instead, which are covered on the No. 8 page. When a No. 10 does appear, confirm VOLLRATH WARE and the size on the bottom, often with the number turned sideways, and the teardrop handle with a hump and a long rib. Ask for a photo of it sitting on a flat surface, since the thin casting warps more often at this size. A saved eBay search is the realistic way to catch one.
