So for no identifiable reason I got really curious about the identity of a couple cast iron pans I picked up at an antique store. I am not a collector, I bought these to see if I could shape them up for use. I grew up using my parents beautiful cast iron cookware and being the naive young'un I was figured cast iron just magically appeared like my parents pans. So I went out to tractor supply and bought myself a set of brand new lodge skillets. And I've cooked with them a good bit for the last 6ms but they are still nothing like my parents pans (still being naive). Well wanting to understand, I went to the internet and down a cast iron rabbit hole. Needless to say i realized that it appeared what I wanted isn't made anymore so I hit the antique stores. I have now found and am in the process of reseasoning the two pans I picked up. Okay now that you have the backstory...I am wondering what the unmarked pan is...the only markings are a "7" and a "z". Next, I am wondering why this Wagner pan looks sort of silver/metallic underneath all the grime I have cleaned off. Is that original or did someone paint that little pan you think?
Here is a link to the pictures I have taken(hope it works). Thanks everyone!
