This is a Lodge # 11 BG Breakfast Griddle with handle. Marked Breakfast Griddle, No. 11 BG, 11/14 IN., Made in USA. Measures 11.25" square, and 16.75"from end of handle across. Small 2.5" wide helper handle located directly across from handle. This style was made from the late 1960's through 1987. Lodge began manufacturing cast iron in 1910 in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.

Vintage Lodge is highly sought after for its high quality cooking surface, which is noticeably smoother than modern pieces. Vintage Lodge rivals well known companies like Griswold and Wagner Ware for performance in the kitchen.
This pan is in great shape overall, but please review all photos. There is some minor discoloration in spots as shown in photos. The cooking surface is in great condition for use. Slight casting popular flaw on edge as shown in final photo- not a chip and does not affect the cooking surface whatsoever. It does have a minor wobble and slight spin so it is not suitable for glass stove tops but will perform well on gas stoves, in the oven, or over a campfire. This is not unusual for large vintage pans as it is caused by uneven heating.
It has been professionally restored via electrolysis and given multiple coats of a commercial cast iron seasoning product made of beeswax, grapeseed oil, and avocado oil. Ready for use or display.
