Griswold cast iron question

[UnConundrum]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a conversion chart that went from number to inches. IOW, I believe a #10 pan is about 11.75 inches. Is there a chart that will tell me what size a #2 is, or a #20?

Here is a great Size & Capacity Chart for Griswold and Wagner:

Well, I don't know about a chart, but my 8 seems to be 9". Are you measuring the edge of the pan or the bottom? Perhaps you could answer another Griswold question-- why is it so much lighter than my other cast iron? Thanks!

Because it's much better iron. That's the secret of OLD cast iron, the Griswolds and the Wagner Ware - it's a grade of iron that makes the Lodge pans, worthy though they are, feel downright clunky, and because it's of higher tensile strength it could be made much thinner. A good old pan will ring like a bell if you give it a sharp tap with your knuckles.

As for size, some measurements are in inches across the bottom - a #10 is ten inches of cooking surface. Some of the other old sizes that seem not to relate to anything just make me crazy - or would if I worried about it.

Thanks Will! I do love the G-wold.
