Well, I found a few spare hours this afternoon and decided to work on the griddle pan.

This is a vintage Wagner ware piece circa 1880-1890. It had been painted as a decorative item at one point is it’s life, so the rust was kept at a minimum. It is a two burner griddle, 8” x 16” cooking area.

It cleaned up well, and here it sits rust-free, oiled and waiting for seasoning. It is in remarkable condition for vintage cast iron piece over 130 years old.

Nicely restored, sir! There's nothing like cast iron in my book. My sweetie has "suggested" that I have a "problem" with cast iron. I disagree - I see the cast iron, I buy the cast iron, no problem! :):):)

Mine are almost all Griswold and Wagner, with a few oddballs and Lodges in the mix. My prize is the dutch oven on the bottom shelf. It was my great-grandmother's and is over 100 years old.
