RE: A new addition to my collection of old-as-dirt cast iron! (I'm in love!)
I got really lucky! Usually I can't afford these, but for whatever reason, no one was bidding on this one. Good timing I guess, cause it is a really nice piece!
The person I bought it from had stripped it down and given it a couple coats of seasoning, so it has some, but will need more.
I generally cook with lard or butter, so it will season up with use quickly, I think.
(I hope so anyway!)
If it needs more help, Ill use lard and season it in the oven, I suppose.
Me neither! I only have one antique piece because they are so darn expensive! But completely worth it, they just don't make em like that anymore... Do you know what brand it is? I love seeing all the different versions too
That is so true, they do not make them like that anymore!
I am not sure, but after some searching, I found an ad for an almost identical piece for sale, (one size smaller), and they say maybe Atlanta Stove Works...
(Mine was only $30, so I think I got a good deal!)
Cool old pan for sale
Hard finding much info on these super old pans, especially when they dont have a lot of markings...
Interesting I've never even heard of them, then again I'm looking more at the griswold era. These seem to be older
Yes, these are much older...
There was a learning curve, but I made waffles this morning! Once I got it figured out, it was not hard.
Oh good, glad you posted a picture of the finished waffles. I just stumbled on this post, 4 months late, but loved reading about your super find!
Thanks!!
I LOVE this old waffle iron and we use it on a regular basis. I love the idea that it was around that long ago, and the history it has seen... :)
oh my gosh that's so cool looking!!
Haha thanks! I think so too!
