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.

This makes me really happy. I'm sure it's very pleasing to see it restored. ๐Ÿ‘

Quite pleasing. I've found myself looking for the nastiest cast iron I can find. It's quite lovely to see them nice and clean.
