Thinking that my iron deficiency is slowly correcting itself. I’m on vacation next week so I plan on seasoning all this and using it to make some soup, bread, and cornbread.
A couple of Wagners, some lodges, Ozark Trail, and some just random no-name cast iron.Nice collection of cast iron there! What brand are they?

I just got 2 old pans from my Mom . Like glass inside .I like finding older stuff that nice and smooth inside.
thirdeye I see a lot of those around here. There was one in every kitchen when I was growing up in sidney ohio. I lived about 3 blocks from Wagner. Used to ride bike past it all the time. You could smell that hot aluminum a mile away. I only live about 20 min north of there now and see lots of wagner stuff at yard sales ad fall festivals.Do you have any WW pieces with the heat rings?

And have you ever come across any of the "Magnalite" cast aluminum by Wagner Ware? Keep your eyes peeled. I have two roasters, but they made a variety of patterns. Magnalite was made from 1934 until 1970, so they are still found at garage sales or on eBay. These are very popular in Cajun country and you can deep fry, make a gumbo, a pot of beans or roast meats in them. I use them on my outdoor stove and for a covered finish on barbecued roasts, especially chuck roasts. They are very easy to keep clean too.
