We sold a lot of Griswold cast iron from my folk's estate at a semi-local auction house. It did well for us! Cast iron is KING! I did sell a few pieces on Ebay, but decided we had too much to sell and it was going to be very heavy to pack and haul to the PO. I am not sure how many pieces we sold but probably upwards from 50 to 75 pieces. Every time we thought we were done finding some, we would find some more! And we still might as we are not done with our dig out yet! Here is Ebay's sold auctions for Griswold cast iron. If anyone has some sitting around not being used and you wonder if it will sell, it sure will! Just giving a little heads up as something to be on the lookout for! You never know when some will come across your path! Wagner cast iron sells ok also, just not as well as Griswold does! We had no $ invested in these pieces and we considered them as part of our inheritance and they have proved us right! Ebay Griswold cast iron |

Absolutely any good cast iron is a seller. Also any enameled cast iron pieces like le Creuset are good as well. Vintage copper pots, french pots especially like Mauviel, etc. are also good sellers. Congratulations on your sales  |

Oh, Yes! I have about 5 pieces from my grandparents but will never sell them! I still use them for cornbread, cobblers, etc.

I will never sell mine, I use it every day. I used to find them in the TS about 10 years ago but never anymore. Griswold is best, then I would say Wagner. The new stuff that I see in the TS is rough and cheaply made but those oldies are beautiful and last forever.

Congrats on having a part of your family's history and using it today! Several of the cast iron pans needed a lot of work, some were rusty, some were beyond rusty and some just needed to be seasoned again. My folks bought them for re-sell, so re-sell them we did! If it had been in Mom's cabinets, I would have kept a few pieces. She didn't cook with cast iron but with Saladmaster Stainless Steel Cookwear. At some point my brother and I will be sharing those pieces! I love cast iron but I am wimpy and can't handle the weight of the pans. I love them though, such history they have! |

The new stuff that I see in the TS is rough and cheaply made but those oldies are beautiful and last forever. That is wonderful that you can use them! Yep, the collectors are grabbing up the cast iron from everywhere! Our bidders loved how much of it we were able to offer them! Many of them only came to the auctions for the cast iron, never seen the like! Lucky for us! I agree the new stuff does not compare in the least bit. |

When I used to cook more all I used was cast iron. I have a Lodge cast iron wok that probably fed me for the majority of my adulthood - it cooked food with an even, steady temperature, and I kept it seasoned. If I don't cook in it, I could use it as a projectile weapon and it would probably take out a wall it's so heavy.
