  • WAGS: Heartbeat of Cast Iron Cookware Collecting
I've came across and bought one measly #3.
Most that I come across in a normal, user size like a #8 are cracked or warped, and high priced at the same time.
Today, I found a #8 for $10.50 at a small flea market that usually has nothing, but it was a pretty bad spinner, so I left it.

Hello Shane. I don't know where you are from. So that might have something to do with the reason that you don't see so many. I live in Ohio and there are plenty of them around here. They made very nice pieces. Of course they were foremost a stove company that made cast iron hollow ware in addition to their stoves. They made beautiful stoves and their cast iron is second to none in my opinion. Some folks specialize in certain brand names. If I like a piece I will buy it no matter who made it. Favorite pieces are easy to like.  :)
