I have tried most, cannot figure out how to make photo 7 plett pan make eggs without sticking. I have seasoned it 4 times. Crisco and beef lard. Gunna do 4 more with flax oil. Also worth mentioning photo 8 and 2 are absolute gems, they were already perfectly seasoned. Photo 10 as pictures has 2 coats of seasoning from being new old stock.
 
This was a local auction and was from a collector, so for me just getting started it was the prefect score. They were all cleaned and pre seasoned many years ago.
 
Low and slow with cast iron. The seasoning is more a rust preventive than a non-stick coating. Nice collection of pans!
Thanks,

Nice. I’ve only ever heard of Lodge brand. Never knew there were other brands. I love using cast iron to cook. We do it occasionally at home.

Here are the Wagners 1891 number 8 pans. Course texture on left, smooth texture on right. I need to do better with the seasoning. I messed up the one on the right and got high spots.
 
I bought a refurbished Griswold on Ebay many years ago. Wish I knew the vendors name, it's very smooth and came seasoned to perfection.
I really like it.
