Rare, hard to find Foster Stove Co., Cast Iron #8 Chicken Fryer with matching lid (unmarked). The bottom of the pan is stamped with the words “Chicken Fryer No.8”. The style and font helps identify the manufacturer. According to my research, these pieces are hard to find because the Foster Stove Company primarily made wood stoves. The cookware was offered as a bonus when a customer purchased a stove, so it seems they were not mass-produced for retail sale. It can be difficult to find both the pan and the lid together.
