I thought I wus gonna read that Spinaker bought the whole collection.

[Oak Smoke]

I’d like to know what some of the pieces brought. My only way to judge the market is seeing what things bring on Ebay.

[Finster]

Agree.
Disappointing that the article didn't reveal sale price(s)

"Helen Rocka was the previous owner of the entire collection auctioned, and she said while 400 pieces were auctioned off here, her full collection was around 1,700 pieces. She said she and her husband traveled all over to add to their collection.

“We wanted United States built. We wanted Wagners and Griswald’s. A collection is fun, and I hope people enjoy them as much as we did,” Rocka said."

1700 pieces. I hope they had an oil well in the backyard for seasoning!

Wait. Texas. They probable did.

I have good friends in Nac, we didn't hear about this or we would have definitely shown up.

“Cast iron has been around well over 100 years……..” Aills said.



I guess you see that some people just don’t know what they have.

The Chinese who regularly made items from cast iron about 2500 years ago might want her to rethink her math.

[Spinaker]

My thoughts exactly Donw

[Finster]

Technically, she isn’t wrong….lol.
It as been WELL OVER 100 years
