Should be in the "NOPE" of the day thread!
My Dad had a Metro parts car and next to it was a Merc Colony Park wagon with a 430 in it. He was not happy with me when I suggested we put that 430 in the Metro
Looks like St Mere Eglise DZ
And how did that mattress appear there? Did you ferry it in with the boat or ??
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.

Lol... it came in on our barge 10 years ago from home. Now relegated to the guest cabin on a new 14" high frame.And how did that mattress appear there? Did you ferry it in with the boat or ??
Enquiring minds want to know...
You have a very nice collection indeed!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.
