So it begins
« on: September 26, 2014, 10:17:13 AM »
Just brought these home this morning. Most had already been cleaned decades ago and put into storage. The majority is Griswold, block letter and earlier with a couple Erie skillets. Few Wagner, National and Piqua for good measure.

Well played, Bob.  I'm afraid to see how many pieces you'll have in a month. 8-)

Stopping back to see her later today, there is more that hadn't been unpacked yet when I was there. Including a 3 burner hot plate and a pie oven. Her daughter told her to take it all to the scrap dealer.  :(
I couldn't let that happen.  8-)

Wonderfully, thoughtfully (selfish) of you Bob to save them from the scrap heap of history. ;)
