So I have a bit of a fetish for cast iron. I guess this could kinda go in the prepping/homesteading/off grid threads, but since it's usually for cooking I'll post it here. I'll show my latest find first. This past weekend, my MIL and I went to an estate sale. Things were old and dirty but pretty cheap. I saw the cauldron first marked at $2 so put it in my pile. Then walked over and saw the griddle but no price. The gal said "Oh just take that!" I got a couple tools and whatnots too The cauldron is a little rough but will surely still hold a bean. The closest I've found online is from 1860 and is $150. It's a 2 gal. #8. The griddle is actually newer and just had a cast finish so hubby did a little work to smooth out the "smooth" side. We tag team. He gets the big stuff off etc. then I scrub and season. We make a fine team if I do say so myself So before and afters~ (afters in the next post)
