high dollar cast iron

[b0bbyg]

Looked at your link, still don’t know what brand this is.

AB&I on tab, 11 1/2” wide at top, 10” on the bottom.

My Google research shows American Brass & Iron  as the maker.  Shows up on several sites as "collectable" but I don't know how valuable it is.

Thanks, that’s cool.

Good info in this thread, wish I'd have checked it out earlier.  I need to get back to using my cast iron again.  Have some great Griswold pieces, and some cheapies also, thanks for the posts on refurbishing and re-seasoning!

Don’t use the drill buffing method if your cast iron is a collectible, it ruins the value.

This website talks about it.

What temps do ovens get to on clean cycle?
If no oven, what other way to do the burn clean? Propane grill on high for an hour?

Mine is 900 for 3 hours but the door is locked for an additional hour to let it cool down

I have to return to a high hunt scout location of years ago. There were 2 cast pans from a bygone era. A rusted out stove and pipe and i think an old oil lantern.  Was too heavy at the time.

I just picked up a small skillet from Lacey Goodwill that has a ring around the base and a stamped 4 and a raised 4 with no other markings. No rust need a good cleaning. $5

Can anyone give incite on this skillet?

I believe I have figured it out by the notch marks in the ring. It is most likely a early 50s 3 notch Lodge small skillet. They had a single notch inthe 30s and moved to the 3 notch both without any other markings but the number. Then 3 notch with usa markings after 57. Pretty cool. Found one selling on line just like mine for $125. I guess that qualifies as high dollar cast iron for a 7.25 inch pan. I guess the number 4 pan is hard to come by.

 I can remember my mom cooking with her cast iron. I have hidden it away at this point because of a crack. It was given to her by her mother so it has to be 100 years old or close to it. The stories that these old pans could tell would make for the best tell all book in history. Most of them never left the stove top so they saw and heard everything.

Very cool. Nice score!

I feel the same way about some of my old cast iron. A lot of it was passed on to my dad from his parents and then passed on to me when he passed.
