New to castironcollector Not new to Cast Iron Collecting

[Roland Clark]

Hello. I have been collecting cast iron for over 30 years. Now that I am retired, I am finally getting around to cleaning, restoring, and displaying some of it in my "Iron Room". I found this website while trying to identify some of my "lesser known" pieces. What a fabulous, comprehensive site!!!! I am sure I will have more information to follow and probably lots of questions. Thank you. Roland.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing some pics of your collection!

I, too, have a tendency to acquire items faster than I can restore them.

Me too.
That's why I started selling some of mine. It makes it easier to justify buying more.

Welcome to the site, Roland.

Thanks for the welcome.
Pictures of some of what I have restored.
Mostly Griswold. Some Wagner, Favorite, Excelsior, BSR, and even Lodge

I have some oddball pieces that i will post once I get them cleaned up.
I will need help with identification.

Those wood stoves are sweet! So is all the CI! Are those stoves called Parlor Stoves?

 

[Roland Clark]

Thank You.
The stove on the right is an Oak Garland (wood) Parlor stove. The stove on the left is a Crawford Crystal (coal) "Base Burner" Parlor stove.
Still working on the Crawford.
Been spending a few hours a day cleaning and identifying CI while waiting for spring.
