Mr. w collects cast iron cookware. He’s started to collect for selling, too. If you want to clean the old stuff, soak it for 5 days in TSP. Then finish off any grime with Easy Off. Here are the world’s best seasoning directions. Poke around this site to see what’s collectible.

MIL kept it in good shape—we’re using some, and passed some on. I checked a bit, but even the best marques weren’t very rare. Wife grew up in a family where cornbread was more common than ‘light’ bread.
