My aunt said that my grandmother tossed this in the barn after her house burned in 1982. She gave it to me the other day after I'd asked about family cast iron.
This is before and after electrolysis and seasoning.
Has some pitting but overall it's in great shape.
Makes sense it would be 1950s. My grandparents married and located to their house in the mid 40s.
Thanks for doing the research there!
