After buying this collection, I texted the guy this photo of a #8 Dutch oven I have. He said it is a BSR from 1920-1940. I’ve since sold just the lid for $50.
I bought the whole thing at a garage sale several years ago for $2

Please take some pictures, and some of us can give you some ideas.
Here’s the latest one. The other is very similar but just a normal skillet. Not like this flat one.

I've got a Wagner skillet that rust did a number on the surface. I have cleaned it up and fully seasoned it but it is still pitted and rough in the rust damage spots while the undamaged spots are baby bottom smooth. Is it worth trying to sand it down to remove the pitting or should I just leave it and call it patina?

The bottom of one of mine has 82G stamped on the bottom. Nothing came up on Google.

Post a pic. If it's pitting, not much you can do.

I do not ever recommend using a sander on cast iron. The pitting is cosmetic. It will not affect the cooking performance of the pan. Pitting reduces the collectors value of the pan for sure. Sanding turns it into a trot-line weight. If you are keeping the pan as a "user" I wouldn't worry about some pitting. Put it to work.

Post a picture. I think I know, but would liked to see.

[/img] Here is the Wagner I mentioned earlier. Can't tell if you can really see the pitting, but I think it's good enough.
Fixed it.

I've seen tons in flea markets and antique shops over the years. Still see a lot at really good prices.
I picked up a 10 inch Wagner Sidney O skillet in pristine condition in a goodwill-type store in Seattle of all places for 15 bucks. I grabbed that thing and hauled arse to the checkout.
