I'd worry that they were made in China, where you don't know what kinds of metals they are made from.

I have one skillet that belonged to my grandmother, and a bunch of other Griswold cast iron I bought on ebay.

Once you learn how to season them, and keep them seasoned, they are amazingly non-stick. With a little butter, fried eggs literally slide right out of the skillet into your plate. No sticking, and they last literally forever.
