All of our cast iron cookware has been cleaned and sanitized. It is then professionally seasoned to provide a beautiful yet durable cooking surface. A common question of me is: Why does vintage cast iron command a higher price than Lodge, Le Creuset or other new brand cast iron? Firstly, it is not always more expensive. A lot of the pieces are priced similarly and sometime a lot less than new cast iron products you buy today. They are ALWAYS the first to sell. Secondly, the majority of the cast iron pieces I sell are pre-1950, which means they were painstakingly poured, polished and milled by hand. No machines or automated processes were used in making these pans. An American worker used a pattern toA create a sand mold (by hand), then poured the molten iron (by hand), then broke away the sand and removed the cast iron piece (by hand), used a grinder to remove the sprue, and then polished (sometimes milled) the iron to whatever specifications were in place. Making cast iron back in the good old days was a very time and labor intensive process. For these reasons, the cast iron of yesterday is much thinner cast (not as heavy), and of much higher quality (much more smooth and non-stick). Vintage cast iron maintains or increases it's value over time! The item you are purchasing will likely be CHERISHED, APPRECIATED and USED by you and your family for generations to come.
