Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Picked up all three of these for $15 today. Here are some pictures.
Before
After
The big one is VERY smooth. It think it is an old one. I didn't even do anything to it. I had to use the wire brush on a drill and 220 grit sand paper for the other two. Here is the finish on the old one.
Helpers.

Nice!
Let the young'ins do the dirty work.
What brand is the 8"?

It doesn't have a brand marking on it. I just says "10 1/2 INCH SKILLET, MADE IN USA, F"
There is an "F" stamp on the bottom of the pan and on the bottom of the handle. Also "8" stamped on the top of the handle.

Stupid question: are you then "seasoning" the cast iron afterwards or just using them right afterwards? Looks like a cool project has me thinking I guess.

Seasoning is a must I use boiled flax seed oil for my initial seasoning cycle then switch to palm oil
Nice find Stu that old one is a good one
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
Yeah I reseasoned them all after cleaning. I turned oven on to 450 and rubbed each down in whatever oil I had (vegetable) and put them in for 30 minutes. Every 30 min I would take out and re-oil and put them back in. I did that for three times then let them cool. The old pan is good to go and the newer pans are pretty usable already.

Anyone use bacon grease? I've been told that works well also.
Too bad my oven doesn't self clean. Also never heard of sanding, will have to try that.
I only cook my food in cast iron skillets 1 6" and a 10".....lost my 12" during a move(well she forgot to pack it). I like making eggs, bacon and toast all on 1 skillet.
Nice looking wares!

Nice find Stuving !!!
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
Went back to the same place and picked up the other pan they had last weekend. They had a number of other pieces, but they all were made in Taiwan and had wooden handles. Anyway, here is the whole family. I have $25 into all of them together.
