Picked up on Saturday. Good deal?
« on: August 29, 2016, 02:05:31 PM »
I picked up these from a local online auction I won on Friday. Final price for all was $57. Kind of new to the cast iron scene and wondering if it was a good pick?

Thanks!

Mike

It looks like all Lodge. I'd have to see the markings on the bottoms before making a decision.

I agree with Russell, looks mostly like LODGE... If so, I think it was a FAIR price but looks like some cleaning is needed...  ::)

(Them 'Chicken Fryers' can turn out some gooood vittles!  ;))

Thank you for the feed back. I really appreciate it. Yes Larry, much cleaning, but that's kind of the fun part for me at least :)

I agree the fryer is most likely LODGE from my limited, but slowly growing knowledge. It is in my electrolysis tank now. Three of the remaining four are definitely Wagner; I can see a little of the Wagner Ware/Sydney -O- on the bottoms which are all flat without heat rings. The last one I can make out what I believe is "Made in USA", so probably late Griswold? I have pics of the bottoms that I will try to post soon.

Got some pics of the bottoms. In order of the stacked photo from top to bottom.

The 3 notch heat ring looks Lodge but the others look like Wagner Ware, I can see the -O- on one of them
