I did the vinegar soak...and stripped it to bare cast with one of my (Rice Cakes) at my Body Shop... It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I have quite a few vintage cast iron pand and fryers. They will last multiple life times. Last edited by topknot; 02/17/23 09:12 PM.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

The old vintage stuff has a smoother finish ( cooking area) ...Back when everyone took pride in their work. Just like my straight razors from 1840 -1940 ...wicked steel back then...and smooth shaving . And just like a pre 64 ..Rifle It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Also to look for notches and other small markings to get it narrowed down even more. Those skillets are all sexy. Millions of trees die every year to print environmentalist publications
