JOHN C JOHNSON CO - Cast Iron - Birmingham, Alabama

John C Johnson Co - Birmingham, Alabama  circa 1930-1940?

Patent 91487



Anyone with a photo of a John C Johnson piece of cookware please send them to us to be included on this article.  Even if it is one of your Grandmothers favorite pieces of cookware....send us a photo.  We will credit any photos provided, to you.   We would also like more history on this company, especially concerning the manufacturing of Cast Iron Cookware.

We believe the below image may be the middle section of the Johnson combination cooker.  But no markings were found.  The handles and outer ridge seem to match up.  We are hoping someone eventually can make a positive ID one way or the other.

    2. Can you start an information gathering site for Little Known Cast Iron Cookware and start with John C Johnson. We have a little info, like ya'll do and if we have a gathering place some other people should continue to see the site and hopefully contribute. You could put it in forum form, keep it private and have rules like other groups that I have joined. What do you think?

  2. I have this exact piece. At least the top and smaller pot. Never knew it may have had a larger bottom pot! Handed down from my grandfather, father, and to me. Thank you for posting this!
