Columbus Hollow Ware No. 12 Skillet
The No. 12 is the largest skillet Columbus Hollow Ware ever produced — and with its documentation, the SSC five-piece matched set is complete. It also delivers the final data point in the "S" mark investigation that began when the No. 8 was first photographed: present on No. 8, absent on No. 9, present on No. 10, absent on No. 11, present on No. 12. Even sizes carry it. Odd sizes don't. That pattern — confirmed across five consecutive pieces from a single provenance — is now in the published collector record for the first time
Columbus Hollow Ware No. 10 Skillet
The No. 10 is the pivot piece of the SSC Columbus Hollow Ware set — where the domestic cooking story gives way to large-scale provisioning, and where the "S" mark research takes its most significant turn. Present on the No. 8, absent on the No. 9, and confirmed again here on the No. 10, the subsidiary mark is clearly not a batch code or a uniform production identifier. It follows a size-selective pattern that only a five-piece matched set from a single provenance could reveal — and SSC is now on record with the comparative documentation to prove it.
Columbus Hollow Ware No. 11 Skillet
The No. 11 is a pan that makes a statement the moment you pick it up. At roughly 13 inches across the cooking surface, this is not an everyday skillet — it is a large-household pan, built for farmstead cooking and Sunday dinners for ten, and it survives in smaller numbers than any other size in the Columbus Hollow Ware line. This specimen is the second-largest piece in SSC's five-piece matched set, carries some of the crispest logo definition in the entire run, and stands as proof that "THE FAVORITE" was not a single-size curiosity but a complete line built for the full spectrum of American domestic life.
