Last summer pulled my great-grandmother's cast iron dutch oven out of my parent's garage, wiped off the spider webs and gave it a light washing, and the thing was still in perfect condition ready to cook... Researched the logo's and determined it was made sometime between 1905 and 1916, and that specific series was fetching 600-700 from collectors online. Not that I'd ever sell it, it cooks far too well to get rid of.

Can you explain how technological improvements are better than loose pattern molding. This video is a perfect example of how the vintage CI was created. Another time suck lmao

If comparing old school vs new school ore....the older, lighter, finer ore wins hands down. That is one of the main reasons why old pieces are desireable.
Both old and new school ore have their virtues. For low to medium and high heat finness cooking with things like eggs, the older stuff shines. For the white hot CI blackening which has been a current theme, the new Lodge stuff shines. You don't have to worry about damaging a true collector piece. Some of the rare old stuff should not even be cooked on and coated with mineral oil to hang on the wall.
@ShadowNick, don't be haunted by G-ma. Keep the heirloom, and buy a cheap Lodge. Best of both worlds.

@focker - I don't know, I just said I'd wager under the assumption back in the 1800s and early 1900s they wouldn't know if they hit some ore with some kind of bad impurity like lead or cadmium because they don't have the tech that we have now for quality control. The iron is a pretty locked up matrix, and many of those bad heavy metals are removed in the slag or volatilize out. Plus my g-ma was bat-sh*t crazy.

Hahaha, yea I wouldn't f with mine. She'd sit on the porch drinking her Hamms cans with a dash of salt, shooting the blue jays that messed with the cardinals. hahaha
