Hi there y’all. I’m new here but have been using cast iron for at least 40 years and before that witnessed my mom, grand and great grandmother cook in them. I have several hand me downs from the 30’s and a couple more that likely in 50’s. I bought a Lodge not long after marriage. Never again. Doesn’t have that smooth finish and heavy. Anyway, I bought two cast iron pieces today that I was told were egg pans. I really know nothing about them. Paid a couple of dollars each. May not be worth more. In my research I’ve seen many call them “egg pans”. I’m thinking those must have been some pretty little eggs. Digging deeper I saw something about Aebleskiver pans. Aha! I’m pretty sure that’s what they are. I believe it’s used for the Danish “pancake like” round balls. Now I’m pretty sure what they are I’m wondering how old. Does anyone have any information on this? I’m including photos if I can figure out how. One has a very high angle curved handle and very primitive imperfections on underside. The other one has what I believe is the number 503. I am in the process of stripping them down and reseasoning. They have a lot of sticky gunk and rust. Any info
would be greatly appreciated.
I have a cast iron deep fryer that I’ve always used. It has years on build up on the outside so I decided the other day I’d try to clean it up a bit. Started scraping on it and saw this thing that looked like this, - 0 - I’m wondering what the heck is that. So I scratch a bit more and above that I made out the word Sidney. Looked it up and with the font looks like I have a Wagner Ware Sidney Stylized, High. Whatever that means. I may have to post the photos in several batches. The first 3 are of the one that has the higher handle and imperfections of molding on bottom
