I learned a good lesson a few weeks ago. Instead of walking around an antique store and leaving empty-handed, I talked to the owner about what I was looking for. (It helped that it was a small shop and not a big antique mall.) Turned out the owner had some skillets out in his truck that he had not brought in yet. That day I picked up a Martin #7 skillet, a Martin #7 bacon fryer and a BSR Red Mountain #8.
Yesterday, I went back to the same place and asked him again, "You got any skillets other than the ones I saw back there?" ... Sure enough, he replied, "Yep, I have a few more in the truck that I haven't had a chance to put out yet." Boom goes the dynamite.
Here's what I left with. All of these were "out in the truck". I'm not sure what the one on the right is. Can't wait to take it out of the lye bath to find out!
