Flea Market find Hammered finish and gate mark

[Scott McCarrick]

I found these at a flea market. $18 for both

#8 skillet with hammered exterior. it looks cool

10" griddle with a gate mark. has a few chips in the rim

Scott, I really like that griddle. I think you will find a nice swirl cooking surface when it is clean. Please post a picture after you clean it.

I think the other pan is one of the ones we talked about in this post.

I'd be concerned you will make some marks in the iron you can't take back.

Doug is very correct.

Took a wire wheel to a near perfect Wagner National one time, cleaned off small spots that wouldn't come off - never again. Ended up with high spots in the skillet after seasoning, there is no way to fix it.

But of course it's your skillet.

i have a variable speed Dremel with a flexible attachment. Also, the wire wheel is about a half inch in diameter and the same depth and soft. I believe ill be ok. We'll see

Even that can leave visible marks on the metal. Been there, done that. Same tool, same attachment.
