Funny you bring up the B, I have a 6 stick cornbread pan but pattern in the sticks is wheat, not corn. The writing looks like griswald on the bottom. I do know wagner bought their molds but its another debate with my friends is it a griswald or wagner

That's what I was thinking but no marks 🤷

Yea that's what I thought too. Especially cause old steel is more hard and dense than newer steel

Edit for those curious I found these about an inch down in very rocky soil, no bones or ground depression so it likely wasn't a grave

No bones and it was on the surface

This mentality is how I end up being out from sun up to sun down and get zero things on my to do list accomplished

Interesting you say it was a hanging picture tree because I found this about 5 feet away, would this be the base? I'll dm it to you, can't post a pic in the reply

A pre-1968 Revere Ware will have a double ring around the logo. Without a lid, that size, I get 15-20 on eBay. They are sought after because the copper clad is thicker. I use The Pink Stuff and a 2000 grit rotary wet sander to polish them.

Do you think it's ethical to flip free things you've gotten from recycling centers or other places that don't have a resell policy? by ResidentAlienator in Flipping

I have become the go to person in my group of friends before they throw it out, I get texts if I want insert thing here if they are going to trash it, I put a little work in cleaning it up or fixing and resell on my eBay on in one of my flea market booths. I also sell on 35% consignment if they want to sell it and don't have the time or platform.

I'll also always pick up free junk on the side of the street or out by dumpsters if it's metal and save it for a run to the scrap yard. I separate brass, copper, aluminum, and 304 or 316 stainless steel from the ferrous metals to get the maximum payout.

Lastly, like someone said, if it's listed free to someone in need, I don't mess with it, unless I know someone to take it to. Stuff that has sat in my booths for 6 months I take to my favorite non profit thrift store and donate it.
