One of the auction sites the Mrs and I look at has lots of cast iron skillets, pans, pots etc…
It’s amazing how much money some of the brands can bring for folks that know cast iron.
My wife made a transition to the coated pans years ago, but now we realize the mistake we made. Some foods taste so much better cooked in a good old cast iron skillet.

You can go to old cast iron collector's and look up identifying old cast iron, great resource.
