I'm a relative newbie or otherwise a non-expert w/ CI myself, but I'd say that's a good score for $33!

Dang! Nice score. The Wagner and the three-notch Lodge are worth more than $33. Pretty sure the "Made in USA" pan is a Birmingham Stove & Range. I hope those are all cookers, but even if a couple end up being wall queens that's a good score.

The "Made in USA", I am almost certain is a Birmingham Stove and Range. You can tell them usually by looking at the bottom of the handle near the pan itself and you will see that it has a ridge, sort of making it look triangular rather than oval. I have several of these. Unfortunately Birmingham Stove and Range closed forever back in the 90's if I remember correctly. I really enjoy cooking on these. Mine are old and well seasoned and cook extremely well.Last edited by Alabama Smoke; August 14, 2020, 06:33 AM.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
One of the great things that differentiates cast iron from synthetic non stick is that ALL cast iron works the same. Great score!
(I know there are differences. Now go work on that new Lodge until it is smooth.)

Ya done sccored yerself one Hailuvva Deal, Brother!
Th Wagner is circa 1935-1959
Th three notch Lodges are great CI; I have plenty of em
Any BSR is Great CI, as well...I snatch em up, when a deal comes along Super underrated, which means affordable to us mere mortals lol!
Shhhhhhh!!!! Keep it on th Down Low, aight???
Any CI with molded Made in USA is typically post 1960... this don't mean it ain't great; most generally are far superior too ANY typical consumer grade one might find, nowadays...
Spinaker has a phenomenal collection, both desirable/rare old, an very new/modern...
Reckon I'm in 2nd CI place, here on AR, but, hey!
At least I'm still in th runnin!
PS please LMK if they's any ya wanna git rid of/consider surplus to yer needs... might jus be interested... (Dibs)Last edited by Mr. Bones; August 13, 2020, 08:55 PM.

Oh My God I could write a book here....
First - that was a token price, it might as well have been free.
Look at a ton of videos on how to prep CI.
Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide, and coarse steel wool, will prep the worst offenders to become heirloom CI again.
Cover those suckers in lard after elbow grease cleaning, dab away the excess, and bake upside down in 350F for a couple hours. Use a cookie sheet to catch the drips.
Welcome to the wonderful world of CI.
Folks pick on modern Lodge because they're dimpled like a golf ball and not baby's behind smooth like the Wagner. Different times and different costs of manufacturing and smoothing. The Wag is a gem...
It's interesting to learn about CI size numbering - it was originally matched to the size of CI wood burning stoves' round cook grate sizes. You bought the CI pans to match your particular CI pot belly stove.
I'm envious... Folks in the Lou know far better what they have. The days of scoring that many pieces under a couple hundred bones are long gone.

OK, a couple of you folks mentioned above that you know little to nothing about cast iron so I want to direct you to a great site. Its primarily focused on dutch oven cooking, but it covers about all you need to know to use and care for CI correctly. Check out http://www.dutchovendude.com/. If not covered here, just goodle something about cast iron care, etc. There is a ton of info out there.
