These three pieces belonged to my great grandmother. They weren't in horrible shape, but had definitely been neglected.
I finally got motivated to start working on them.

That hearts and star pan is beautiful. What a user! A cake batter flipped down with a strawberry and whipped cream topping would be an award winner.

I agree the hearts and stars is pretty. Will you post a picture of the hearts and stars flipped over please so we can see what marks the bottom has on it?
 
I don't have all of the old seasoning scrubbed from the bottom yet. I was concentrating on the rust and the interior last night, so please don't judge too harshly. :-)

There are no markings on the back, front, or anywhere on the handle. Not even a number or letter. All I see are the gouge marks on the star.

Well that's just great/ now I have to find a similar style one to get. I just started out wanting to replace my old cheap aluminum skillet that the handle finally fell off and thought I'd try a old CI one. Mind you I told others I'm not a collector just a user. Well now I have five pieces iron and looking for at least six more. I'm starting to see a pattern of what I've been picking up for the kitchen lately.

I really like that star and hearts skillet when I looked at it a thought of three things that would be fun to try in it. Maybe even one giant tollhouse party cookie? I also like some of the bunt pans some of you have posted,

I think I'm going to say to myself I'm not a collector till maybe Ive got more than 15 :)
 
Looking good Jennifer. Keep up the good work.

Steven, start keeping a log now so it wont be so hard to remember what you have in a few months. We started out this year to just replace the cheap cookware we had. We probably have enough cast iron for everyone on our street now.

100% agree on starting a log early. I started getting into iron roughly 2 years ago, and I already don't know what I have. All I know for sure is when I open my cabinet full of the "to be cleaned" pile, I just shake my head :)
