Welcome to the blog! Here you’ll find all sorts of information, history, information, and stories about vintage cast iron cookware made by many manufacturers – not just Griswold, though I love Griswold cookware. You’ll also meet some collectors and have a chance to view their collections. Over the years I have blogged and written about vintage cast iron cookware – you can read more about my interest in vintage cast iron here.

If you’ve reached the site because you are looking for information about the identification, age, or value of your own old cast iron cookware, please take a look at the “Learn About Your Iron” page on this site. Just a small amount of work on your part will reward you with an abundance of information.

Please note: I’m in the process of bringing some of my old blog posts back online, which has been an interesting and educational challenge.

Not all are ready (and I don’t have/won’t be able to recreate all of them), but as time permits and I continue to work on the site, you’ll see more posts appear. Enjoy the site and check back often!
