My best buy (to date)

Since my biological family isn't appreciative of my finds, I'll share this with with my CI family.

Down from the dark forests of Maine to our place on Cape Cod, Mass, I happened on a yard sale. Asking the usual cast iron? question, the house owner pointed to a cardboard box and said "$5 each".

Setting the two made in Taiwan pieces aside, I got a:

#5 size, heat ring skillet, too crusty to see any markings.
#5 size skillet, again too crusty
an unmarked Wagner "8 inch skillet"
a 3 notch Lodge #8 skillet
a small logo Griswold #8 (704) skillet
a Favorite Piqua #5 ("smiley?) skillet
an unmarked tiny hammered skillet, 3" diameter
a "sidney" 9A skillet

All in great shape, just needing some TLC. I'm pleased. And off to the biggest flea market on the Cape today!
 
That's a nice find! I don't think my biological family is very appreciative of my cast iron either! Just the food that gets cooked! LOL

I'm just starting to look for cast iron pieces locally. I just posted my first thrift store find.

Good luck at the flea market.
 
Great find, MikeZ. I too found local cache of iron...just don't where to store them if I bought it all.:? I'd have to resell them after I cleaned them all up, I guess. Oh... the joy of cast iron collecting and reselling!
 
So I'm not the only one with an unappreciative family? Mike I finally answered your private message to me. Didn't know there were such things until a couple days ago. Good luck hunting.
