To say you are not very knowledgeable in cast iron is a MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT. Wow, one of the BEST cast iron videos I have seen. Very Informative. Thank you. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this video, thanks, it's surprising but a lot of this info is hard to track down on the internet. The pan that got me addicted to cast iron was a Large Block Griswold I found while camping in the woods Called the Boundary Waters, on the US Canada border. Restoring it was a lengthy process but I'm so happy with the results. Thanks again!
Don’t throw too much shade on Lodge! You can lightly sand the Pre-seasoning off w #80 grit sandpaper and then season how you like. They will perform great!
Keith McCormick I’ve had fine performance from my modern lodge but always strip all the factory pre-seasoning in a lye bath and season myself before use. Most times some of the factory seasoning had begun to flake off with use for me.
Great video! Thank you for posting it. Owning an overlooked piece of Americana is a thrill for me. Can't wait to hunt for more. Appreciate your knowledge of dating the various pieces. Thank you.
Noticed you have the Griswold #8 (704), it's my favorite pan, a really fun place to search is the Brimfield antique show in Massachusetts. Nice collection (nice START).
Beautiful collection and so nicely seasoned! I have a question. Those rubber things on the Dutch ovens--are those just for storage, so condensation doesn't form inside the pots? You surely don't cook with those on, do you? It seems like they would melt and mess up the food. Maybe you explained that and I just missed it. Nice video, though!
Wisdom's Peace (BWood) No, I don’t cook with the rubber things. You are correct, they are for preventing issues that arise from sealing cast iron Dutch ovens up when stored.
NICE AND PERFECT COLLECTION , I WISH THAT GRISWOLD BUT IN POLAND WHEN I LIVE OR UNITED KINGDOM NOT POSSIBLE TO BUY ... I HAVE FEW WAGNERS BUT MORE MODERN
Griswold is overrated. They are nice pans but nothing special. Older Lodge, Wagner and BSR are just as good. Many smaller foundries made nice pans, too.

Enjoyed seeing your collection. Always learn something new from other collectors. Thanks.

Nice Collection! Great information!
Lovely collection I just picked up a wagner and made an recipe video with it.O own a griswold and BSR that I love!
KatYaks Nice! I’ve also added BSR to my collection. I’m going to have to do an update video one of these days.

I've heard of that show. I don't live in that state but any event someone will post a video so we can all get jealous. 😄
Thanks for sharing your collection, I have the #8 Griswold Dutch oven also.
Bryan Phelps Thank you!
99% of the time the pre-seasoning is a high temp soy oil to stop rust while the cast iron is new in storage. Best to remove it.
Great video...one of the better ones. I think Made In USA was closer to/if not 1960.
westmeathguy Thank you. I’ve been thinking about doing an updated one as I’ve added pieces.
Nice collection.
Robert Waddell Thanks! I've added a few since this video but I manage to use them all.

Классная коллекция!
At least for wood planes, the best are pre war. Seems logical the same rationale would apply.
My fav is the Wagner Griddle.
The inside of that one lid is shaped like the grizwald logo
you play the guitar ? me too.

where did you find the rubber pieces for the lids on the dutch ovens?
Kevin Hurt you can order them now from lodge. I
Lodge sells them on their web site for a few dollars a pack.
your way off on your 3 notch lodge dates
Your 1940's #3 Griswold with the USA mark wasn't even made until 1960 or later!
different kind of USA. Hers is between 1924 and 1940. I think. :P
Large block smooth bottom Griswolds- 1930-1939.
