Lye is working

We shall soon see

Great job , bringing those pans back to life !

Excited to see what pops out. Thanks for the inspiration

Found this one too, that’s readable. Any idea on age or worth?

What number is on the handle of that Wagner ?

That little 3 Griswold is Vintage..
Looks like it has a heat ring .
Correct ?

Plus the slant logo dates it back too.

Iam no expert..
But you can Google ..how to date my cast iron pans

Number 8 on the Wagner handle

Yes, heat ring on the number 3

709 B

Score !

Of course ..condition is everything.

Used hard and crudy, going to clean up sweet

Has only been in lye 2 hours and came a long way

That Wagner 8 is a sweet size...and a keepah.

The #3 is a collector item ...really to small for cooking.

Thank you Ness, I post pictures when they are restored. You and Catch22 lite a fire lol

Those little cast iron pans are great on the BBQ grill to cook mushrooms and onions in butter to top your steaks.

I’m thinking the same thing or a omelette ore on grilled sandwich

Very Nice Nessy

I did use our #3 Griswold skillet to oven roast 1/2 a bulb of gaahlick..
For my awesome Caesar Salad.

So I guess they ain't totally useless...lol

No carries lye around here anymore, you have to order it. Seems to work well.

All cleaned up.....and now to season it
