1. What is the first piece of cast iron cookware you actually owned?
A hand-me-down skillet from my former in laws that had been in their family for 3 generations. I never bothered to look into its branding then; I was just honored they offered it to me. And I am super sad to have mistakenly left it in my house (oven) when I moved a couple years ago. :covri::frown:
2. Do you consider yourself more a collector, a user, or both?
User
3. What is the first piece you acquired with an eye toward collecting?
Not looking to "collect" per se. I just enjoy cooking/baking in CI.
4. What is the first truly collectible piece you acquired?
I really don't know if I have anything "collectible" because I didn't buy any pieces for that purpose.
5. If you were forced to give up your collection except for one piece, what would that piece be?
My Wagner Ware two burner griddle. I love that thing and it has so many uses, I could never part with it.
6. Knowing it's hard to name a single favorite, name up to three CI items, rare or not, on your "holy grail" or "bucket list".
I don't have a bucket/holy grail list just yet.
