Looks like that skillet is in the $300 range.

Not bad for a dumpster find.

I have about a dozen pieces of cast iron. Mostly Lodge. Only a few pieces that might be old. I got a elderly neighbor's 'fish fryer' when he passed away. A No. 8 OZARK Dutch oven, Made in St. Louis.

Then I have a Griswald No. 6 skillet I inherited from my Sister. She was a collector of trinkets and had it hanging on a wall. Now it resides in my camp box and get's used every trip.

Is a skillet/pot measured by the bottom? So the above skillet is a 6 inch skillet? It measures 8 inches at the top.

Anyone know anything about either of these?

I did not describe it very well first go around.

Maybe not, but you got it all cleared out the second time around :laughing:

Where are you seeing that? They are desirable but not that desirable.

Morning all, good day for some cast iron pix from you holdouts.

I'll bite. They don't get used that often, but you can't beat it for grilling a steak when the weather isn't conducive to BBQ'ing

I think I have seen it all now when it comes to weird things being sold on Marketplace. I have never heard or seen of such a thing as these. I'm glad that I wasn't drinking anything when I saw this because it would have been spit out by my laughing.

Lol "attachments"

The divided skillet. Just a quick search brought several up on ebay and etsy. Not that I put much faith in those places. I'll do a better search when I get to the puter.

With about a foot of snow on the ground and about two cord put up to heat my woodworking shop next year, I think my scrounging season has come to a close. Unless opportunity knocks... Got to watch a friend's young fella catch his new PB pickerel yesterday. He was over the moon.

Even managed to catch a few myself.

Cool looking fish. We have Northern's, Great Lakes and Tiger Muskies but not pickerel.

They make for a fun day on the ice! When the bite is on, it's not uncommon to catch 25 in an afternoon. Fishing for muskies is my main pursuit in the open water though. Now I am just waiting for sufficient ice to get my four wheeler out of the coves and several kilometers onto the main lake where the big lake trout live.
