I'll post a link to pictures of my new favorite place in another thread ...
But these are my finds today:
1- A Griswold Corn Bread Pan - #954 - He had a $49.50 tag on it. We settled at $25. (Not a very good picture.)
The next two are extremely rusty. The SMS has major pitting, but I couldn't resist due to the reason listed below ...
1 - #5 single notch Lodge ($5)
1 - #7 Southern Mystery Skillet Recast? ($5) - This one is very close to the Holy Grail that is my broken grandmother's skillet. Raised 7, Small Pour Spouts, Reinforced Handle. Unfortunately, it also has a Gate Mark. Doug? Would you say it is a recast of one like my grandmother's?
This one is really too far gone. There is probably some serious pitting under that rust. There is also a moon-like crater on the cooking surface.
and finally ...
1 - Univ of Georgia Belt Buckle ($5) for a friend who just had surgery, is a huge UGA fan, and collects belt buckles.
As I was paying, the owner said, "I only accept cash". Oops. I owed him $40. I only had $36 on me. He said, "Mail me the $4 when you get home." A gentlemen who had been hanging out with the owner when I walked in, pulled out his wallet, handed the guy the $4 I owed and said, "The next time you meet a man who need a meal, you can pay me back by giving him the $4 you owe me." God, how I love the South.
