We were out and about running errands and stopped by the antique store to look for some older cast iron. I found a 12" Lodge DO and a 6 1/2" skillet, a 8" skillet with enameled outside and a 8" deep skillet. We got all of that for about $100! One skillet is a Wagner, the small one is a Lodge, the enameled one is a name i have never heard of Ultrex.

That is a Great Score! We used to take them for granted after aluminum came along. Boy were we wrong. ;D
My Mom(85) still has a 12" skillet w/lid that has been around for a long time and that thing is BLACK and SLICK!!! It will turn out some good food!
 
Nice score!

I was lucky enough to get my mom's 3 pan set when they moved down to Florida about 12 years ago. Black as night and well (WELL) seasoned. Now that they've moved back up north, I don't even talk about them with her within earshot. :)
 
I was just thinking about needing to go and start scrounging for some C.I. at the thrift shops. Thanks for the inspiration. I want a bigger skillet. Got one that's been in the family for awhile now, but with my family size it's not good for much more than making eggs while I use my skillet for pancakes.
 
Well done Sir. Great find. I've got several pieces of CI, and love each and every one of them. I've got a couple of the enameled pieces. Some are coated inside and outside, some just outside (only on non-cooking area). I think all mine a some French company "La Cruset", or something to that effect.

Either way, enjoy man. Good stuff. Save the past.
 
I use and love ci . if you use it right you can't out live it . I have some that dates back to 1800's.
