Re: WAPAK #12, (2) WAGNER #11s. Recent Finds
Doug, I felt it was a possibility when I was buying this skillet. Closer inspection, tilting at every possible angle, it still doesn't appear to be. Something looks a little different in that area,...

WAPAK #12, (2) WAGNER #11s. Recent Finds
Picked up a few good pieces the other day. Except for the #4 Griswold, the other 3 were a first for me.

Re: How Many Rounds of Seasoning
You really only need 1 layer to provide protection from rusting. You will add seasoning with use. I do 2 or sometimes 3 layers to darken them a little more. that is strictly for cosmetics to resell.

Re: Griswold Questions
First off, welcome to the site Stephen. In my opinion, Slant logo skillets without heat ring are MUCH harder to find that with heat ring. You hardly ever see any come up for sale compared to their...

Re: Electrolysis Tank - Newbie!
K_Leonard, check Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. There are often old, manual chargers for sale on there for reasonable prices.

Re: Biggest Haul Yet - Lots of Work Ahead
Nice haul. Sometimes it happens that way. In the front stack of skillets, it looks like the 2nd and 3rd from the bottom might be fancy handled, bottom gate marked??

Re: Lye Bath
For several years, I used nothing but electrolysis, since it cleans everything. The past 2 years I've started to use a lye tank first. It allows me to stack multiple pieces in the lye tank for...

Re: Unusual Cast Iron Frog
It's a boot jack. Anchored to the floor and you hook the heel of your boot in the antenna and pull your boot off. I've had several of these. Use one now as a door stop in my shed, lol.

Re: Some Pics from the Dinkys Auction This Weekend
That 3 lip #9 is amazing. Has to be one of the rarest pieces out there. Although I'm not a big fan of chrome or nickel plated pieces, that #2 is stunning. I see posts about this auction house all the...

Re: Bride's Choice....
I suspect that there was a bottom gatemark that has been eroded away by the sulfur pitting. I see these referred to as "initial" skillets. Unknown maker, if I'm remembering correctly. Nice, old...

Re: I'll Be Dog-Gone "Home"
Nice find. I have pretty much stopped even checking at my local Goodwill store. Never any cast iron. I think they put it all on their eBay store.
