Been cooking in my iron for years, mostly outdoors. My grandmother passed last September and my aunt and family are just now closing out her estate. My aunt asked me since I was the only family member that she knew that used cast iron would I want my grandmothers skillets. Well DUH!!!!!!!
Just getting around to cleaning them up today. One skillet has a 8 on the handle, after about 8hrs in a lye bath it's looking a lot better. I now can see a 1 on the underside of the handle. I have a flat skillet I am going to do next, pictures soon.
Oh and I wanted to add. I am not worried how old or valuable this pieces are. They were handed down so that's enough for me.
