Reply:A bargain, Erie is a casting/forging mecca,  the home of Griswold cast iron cookware... dutch ovens, Skillets etc... the ones that read ~ERIE~ in block letters on the bottom are turn of century skillets... I mean turn of LAST century like 1900 or so.  That keen vice is so nice... The skillets go for about $100 and up for the big ones... Cowboys do like their bacon done right at the campfire... this too will increase in $... so clean her up and enjoy it.   No matter how much the Chinese offer U for it by the pound just smile and "just say No".
