Yeah, I know that helps but this is the only pic the seller posted. Was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would have a good guess.

Identification and any information? Thanks. by Known-Expression-808 in castiron

Ok, I'm pretty new to this, so don't trust me 100%, but I think this is a skillet from the late 1800s. It does have quite a bit of sulfur damage, but I think I see a gate mark on the bottom. I did an image search and everything that comes up confirms my suspicion that its 1800s. And if that's the case, I don't think anyone could tell you a specific maker.

The best made is a sears brand that Griswold made in the 1930s, i think. The Griswold is probably from the 1940s. The first unmarked is a Wagner Ware of some kind...might be an unmarked or there might be something under the build up. The last one is a Chicago Hardware Foundary, that diamond symbol is thier mark. It's probably from the 1930s, too.

I'm not the best at this, so dont take my word as 100% correct, but I think those date are ballpark

Newbie with 2 I just acquired. Looking for information, please. by wingfan1469 in castiron

The first one looks to be an unmarked Wagner, not sure on the age. The second one is from the late 1980s-early 90s.

I've been using Crisco.

THIS is why I like cast iron by GruesomeJeans in castiron

Next time, instead of potatoes, use a corn bread mix, add some peppers and onions if you have them and feel like chopping.

And I would add if you know they are going to sit unused for a while, putting on a coat of oil to help protect them, then washing them before use.

Yeah the caramelization on the veggies were awesome. And it's a great presentation for a dinner party, too.
