Good news is I found some good cast iron this weekend. The bad news is when I took the camera out for some pictures the batteries were dead. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get some new batteries.
I sort of thought I had decided on Wagner Ware Sidney -O- flat bottomed pans due to them being easily available and relatively inexpensive. The only piece I saw like that was at an antique store. A #6 skillet for $40 that spins like a top.
Anyway, the finds.
At a local thrift store I found a Wagner Ware Krusty Korn junior. I paid $15 for it but then there wasn't any shipping charges so I'm happy.
There's a local junk/antique/etc store that has a lot of fun guy stuff. Inside there were a few cleaner, more modern pans that I wasn't terribly interested in and one gate marked bread roll pan. That piece was tempting.
Outside there was a big unorganized stack of incredibly rusty pans.
I ended up rescuing a Lodge 4 in 1 set, a #9 Lodge arc logo skillet and an Erie #8 skillet. The lodges seem to sit flat, the Erie sits flat but there's a visible bow in the middle.
No bargains in the shape they're in ($75 for the lot) but I think they'll be good users, which is what I'm after. I also found a paddle and a bail handled low base for (I think) a Wagner waffle iron. I wanted it but couldn't find the other paddle.
Right now the #9 Lodge is getting a bath in the E-tank.
I*'m excited to get them cleaned up and start cooking in them.
