Well, this was quite a read-through. And I had no idea there were so many US CI sources.
I've only got a handful of CI, but I do have one pretty good example of each kind needed for a well-equipped kitchen. Most of it is Lodge, mostly sourced from BassPro. I do check CL for CI ~ monthly, so I've got a few Griswold pieces too. Luckily the St Louis market is very soft on CI and CL has lots of choices at really low price points, even Griswold and Wagner.
I have storage envy. I would love to have room in my kitchen for my wares to be on visible shelves - maybe the next house.
I kind'of have a rule that will make you cringe. I don't use my US CI outside the kitchen, I love it too much. That means that my fishing skillet used on campfires is from China, as is my Camp Chef self-standing Dutch oven.
