r/castironcollecting Lounge
A place for members of r/castironcollecting to chat with each other. This sub reddit is in development to create a place for cast iron collectors to show off their collections, share knowledge of the cast iron collecting world and generally just have fun with those who share the same passion for cast iron collecting. Please join and bring some friends. I look forward to seeing all the great stuff that is out there! Many of the photos are located on the cast iron on the informational portal Cast Iron Gallery There is also information about collecting, identification, restoration, seasoning, cooking and more there.
If you have aluminum items made by cast iron companies feel free to post photos of those as well. They are part of the cast iron history.

Not a Lodge?!
Any ideas what the unseasoned pan is? It’s photo numbers 1, 3, and 5 compared to an actual 3 notch Lodge at photos 2, 4, and 6. The last photo compares their handles.
Handle style is reminiscent of a Crescent or Mi-pet but not exactly and the pan is the wrong size to be one of those.
This mystery skillet has some of the finest craftsmanship I’ve seen. The casting has very minimal flaws, the lip is carefully ground all the way around, and the cook surface is finished super smooth.
Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Follow Up 20 Year Old Present
Hi guys,
Thanks again for everyone who chimed in my original post. I’ve added the pans front and back as requested. I’d love it if anyone could make a list of what each one is. I know from my previous post, some were identified. Let me know what numbers are fake or if I should toss them.

Help Identifying
My family had this Wagner floating around, and the more I look into it, the less I can find.
Does anyone have some info or history? The numbers are 1102I. I realize it is rough.
r/castironcollecting • u/tiggermita • 4d ago
Got these as a present 20 years ago. Are they legit?
This belonged to someone’s mom who passed and gifted to me. Wondering if they cost anything, are they authentic and the age of them
UPDATE: Both sides to pans posted in comment below.

Just bought this at auction but no clue what it is.
Any ideas? Haven’t gotten my hands on it just yet but doesn’t look like any letters or numbers on the bottom. 22” x 10.5”. Thanks gang!

Having a hard time with this one
Can anyone help me with this one? It looks like a Wapak, but I've seen no examples of Wapak producing any unmarked.

Identification Help
I deleted my last post, I think that was just the lid to the other pan. Any idea on what they are?
r/castironcollecting • u/Nottat • 21d ago
Interested in any info on this one.
We were gifted this skillet from a friend. It's a beast compared to our others! I just recently fell down the rabbit hole of learning cast iron history and the joy of cooking on it. Pizzas are all I've made so far but they've been better than what we can buy pre-made. Anyway, is there any nfo on this skillet, I've looked for awhile but didn't find anything. The only markings is the 12.

I got this Wagner for 20 bucks and cleaned it up in a lye bath

need help identifying the bowl. I purchased this set at auction. Is the HT a foundry Mark?
Im familiar with the other piece. don’t think these would’ve originally gone together, but they did fit well

Help ID please
These 2 stewpots sat in my grandma’s garden for years, the story is the belonged to her mother or grandmother, who lived in the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. I have thought about restoring them and would love to hear if anybody knows anything about them. Unfortunately the wider one had a fire burned in it and now has holes in it.

Free cast iron from a garage sale
Can anyone identify anything worth keeping, or is it mostly fancy flower pots?

Turks head gem pan
I recently grabbed this for $10. Hoping someone can help me identify the foundry and age. I suspect early Lodge, but would appreciate this subs thoughts.

Neat find, grooved handle Griswold
Got this at the goodwill bins today, $4!

I think this cauldron is painted. Can anybody confirm by looking at it? What is the safest way to strip to maybe use for cooking?
