Thanks for all the love! Much appreciated! As a token of my appreciation, I finally got off my butt and started more aggressively sifting through and editing footage for upcoming shows. I now have four episodes ready to be released and they'll be made public every THURSDAY AFTERNOON for the next 4 weeks. Be sure to subscribe and follow along!
Love picking peddlers malls for cast iron. Don't pass over a really nice Tiawan marked cast iron they are very well made. I picked a nice #5 Lodge post 1960 pan for $20.00 and use it almost every day. The BSR cornbread pans are great as well I do have a BSR wedge shaped cornbread pan and use it a lot .
Agreed! Having looked at so much Asian cast iron, I can clearly see some pieces are very well made and high quality. I wish there was more known about those foundaries. I bet in the future they'll be very collectable.
I see you check for warp, but not a lot of checking for sidewall cracks. Hopefully, the adrenalin rush of the package deal didn't distract you from checking them all for both. Wagners didn't have inset heat rings. Glad my combo cooker page helped. Have seen your Le Boulevard booth.
@@wisdomstudioThere will come a time in your collecting journey when you leave more pans behind than you take, and when you recognize the handles on imports well enough from a distance that you don't bother picking them up at all.
At 5:57 the pot you are holding is really old and really thick. A lot of those that were made that thick were made for melting lead or other low temp metals. If you ever do buy an old pan that thick make sure you test it. I am not one who screams about lead, but those you have over a 50% chance of it being contaminated. Also on the pot with the hole, there are a lot of people tho do drill holes when they find lead, just to keep people in the future same from eating out of a contaminated pot. It looks like an import, so I doubt it is a gatemark, looks like they welded a crack. As many BSR Cornstick pans I find I have limited the ones I buy to the Red Mountain Series that look like they were hand scribed. 10:17 They are wrong that is part of the Tab-Notch Combo, not Blankenship. 13:15 it looks like someone hit that #3 Wagner with a wire wheel on a side grinder.. 15:15 Wagwolds were not cast very well.. The gatemarked griddle was definitely the best deal you had in this video.
29:45 if it was a Wagner, Griswold or Erie the heat rind would be on the outside, not inset like that one. I love scratch offs! You can also tell that pan made a LOT of cornbread.

Nice scores !
Nice pickin man. I love hearing the excitement. What a find on those 2 lodges. Those really are great cookers.
I really like that Denmark pot. Good save/score.
It's really nice - I'm hoping to cook something in it soon and see how it works out.

Yea, I often get excited and don't fully check as well as I should, and I've been burned because of that. I try to keep reminding myself.

I can see that happening pretty soon.. also probably ignoring the #3s and #5s
@@wisdomstudio #3s at a good price are always hard to resist, I have a stack of pie logo #3s to prove it. And a stack of Monday Morning Martins.
You drill a hole in a pot that contains lead so it can't be used ......the 'weld' is the gate mark
That's an interesting idea. Is it widely known? I know some people drill holes just to use pots as planters.
Is that porcelain lined pot a chamber pot?
It's not a chamber pot. It has a heat ring and is used for cooking.

I agree, and I got a cool lead test kit I will be showing off in a future episode.
Why don’t you ask if they will negotiate the price? If I were a a seller I’d rather negotiate than keep a product forever.
I have started to do that sometimes. Other times I feel like it might not be worth the hassle but you're right.. nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I quit buying cast iron at flea markets when I over heard two dealers talking about seasoning it with motor oil
Ugh... yea, that's one reason why I strip and re-season all my pieces myself, even if they look good already.
