Hello everyone! I've been using am old CI skillet that I got from my mom for about 20 years. Then about 4 years ago she gave my all her cast iron because she because she is getting old and couldn't lift it anymore and she knew how much I enjoyed the skillet. Then my father passed away and I inherited his cast iron and then I started picking up a piece her and there and now I have over 40 pieces! :shootself: I really enjoy restoring them using a lie bath and a vinegar bath to clean them and then seasoning and using them! I think I might try an E-bath on my next one. Anyway, I'm not sure who made some of my CI but I do have a couple favorites! they belonged to my great-grandmother! One is a "R & E Manufacturing Company" Gem pan and the other is an "Unknown manufacturer" Gate marked bean pot. See attachments.
