In the early 1900s, Griswold began putting their company name onto their cast iron pans, and after a very brief period of making some rare pans with the "Griswold's Erie", they introduced the logo that went on to become the most famous and prestigious symbol of vintage cast iron: the Griswold cross logo. The first version of this logo is called the "slant logo" because the Griswold name was printed in this italic or curbed font style. At first this design had the Erie name printed underneath, but then it switched to the circular logo surrounding the cross, which would stay for nearly the next thirty years. Collectors and vendors who know the different Griswold logos consider the slant logo the most valuable of Griswold's marked pans, but Griswold was in its prime during this period, and it was here they set a standard for cast iron cookware that few manufacturers have been able to match, either back then or today.
