sse, sometimes people will just give them away! Downsizing, just sold well over 100 lbs. of Griswold that I collected over the years.
ππ»ββοΈ Any oval roasters in that pile? Set of early 20βs wagners Iβm working on Good friend paid $600.00 for a beautiful Griswold No. 9 with the trivet up at Bouckville the year before last. I had/have some very nice pieces, but no oval roasters. Always had a thing for pre-Griswold βERIEβ iron. Used to find a lot of it at the local markets here in PA, not anymore.

Manufactured 1909-1920 . Not that you asked but The β1891β was made in the 90βs by the company that ruined Wagner .

Only late Wagner piece I kept. use it as a humidifier on the wood stove.

We rode into this old camp to check it out for future. I stepped off my horse to tie him on a tree and felt a really flat βrockβ underfoot. Bent down to see what kind of rock was so flat, and thatβs what I found.
Put it in the charcoal ashes of the campfire to reduce the iron oxide which helped a lot. Did a complete cleanup at home.
We figured some party had fully loaded horses and tried to drop some weight. There were folding chairs, a tent, silverware, in the weeds too.

Our deer camp had a beautiful Griswold 14 skillet. It made a hell of a lot of food. It was the biggest cast iron skillet Iβve seen. You could fry a pound of bacon and still have room for the eggs!
One year it just disappeared.

Not surprised. I drove almost a hundred miles each way to get mine. It was buried in a yuge craigslist ad a collector had posted. They are very hard to come by. I could have spent 2 days going through all the stuff he had in his garage. He lived in approx. 1000 sq ft house and his garage was at least 2000 sq ft, minimum. Quite organized, but stuffed to the gills. Old Cadillacs and others parked all over the property. Me thinks one of your camp mates decided it was no longer group property.. or it was his in the first place and didn't want to take the chance of somebody else liberating it.

LOVE cast iron threads. So, to keep this one rolling, here's one I picked up recently that was gifted to me. Has a single striking on the bottom "5.W". Hard to see in the first pic. It needs cleaning, but it's really not in bad shape at all. It sits perfectly flat on the smoke ring. It might be a Wagner, but I'll leave that to the experts.

Pop told me where it came from, but I don't really recall. I think it was a house warming gift when he and some friends built the camp in the early 60's. He was pissed when it disappeared and everybody played dumb. Seeing what they go for, I think you are absolutely right. Somebody with access couldn't stand to see that much money hanging on the wall.

I have a working collection, and also a few in my shop. I regret highly not buying a Lodge 20" frypan when they were in production. First pic, right side - found that one in an old camp in the mountains. It was rusted and looked like billy hell. It cleaned up pretty good. My favorite for fried eggs, pancakes, etc. I believe I have the same pan but not as nice as yours......yet. People more knowledgeable than I(not an especially high bar) say its a Wagner. βUnmarkedβ Wagner , produced after Textron bought them out (along with griswold). Just looked at the old link sse posted and seen Local Dirts #14. Canβt touch those things at much less than $1000 these days. As for hw you keep cast clean, I simply wash mine when hey need it. Crud build up doesnβt equal seasoning. rosco, I thought you were kidding a bit when I read that. Then I checked prices online, which I haven't done in some time. Geebus! I think I paid $175 for mine from a collector, who was eccentric, to say the least. That was several years ago, of course. Can't get pics that were taken at his house the day I bought it because imgur is for some reason denying upload of jpg, vs jpeg. ?? Found an old post from 2016 with a couple creeped up photos off my photobucket account. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/10990133/cast_iron_pot

Local Dirt, by the looks of the handle design, I suspect that pan was made by BSR (Birmingham Stove and Range.) L.W.

This Lodge oven lid is handy. It works on the Dutch oven of course. It works nicely on two of our 10" skittles, and we use it often to broil on.
