I'll try and rember to ask him what it is. I'm sure it's a decent pan if he bought it. He'll most likely know what it is as he has been collecting for a long time and has all the books etc. to look it up if he didn't know. He has a nice collection. I don't know if you had seen it, I thought you said you had. He collects higher dollar stuff than I can afford, plus he has been doing it for alot longer. He was teasing me at Burley thought that I bought quite a bit of Griswold last time. But the prices were good. Normal I go for gate marked stuff or I am looking for Iron mountain etc..
I am trying to put together sets of unmarked users with heat rims. older stuff from the 50's or later and a few gate marked pieces. I really like the real old wagner, but it is harder to find it in good condition. Plus I want heat rimmed Griswold, but it is harder to come across it for reasonible prices. a piece here and there.
But I buy a lot of older unmarked lodge as it is pretty reasonible and they are good started pieces for that reason. The quality is there, it just doen't have all the nicer markings people generaly collect. Plus you do get the people with a pile of old Iron that has a few good pieces mixed in and you can get the whole pile pretty cheaply. So I am ussualy dragging home a pile of rusty stuff that has a pretty low value. But it's a good way to learn about Iron. And sometimes when you take off the layers of junk you find a nice pan.
