Rabid, if you find something and it needs work I'd help you restore it if you need. You can probably find a small logo #10 for around $50. Might be in bad shape though. Just make sure it isn't warped or cracked. You can fix dirty and neglected.

Rabid:
I look at buying quality iron like this; to buy "quality" modern iron today I'm probably going to end up buying LeCruset or similar. In the 10" size you will pay about $150. You can buy a 70+ Year old high quality Griswold for somewhat less than that from ebay or elsewhere in prime condition. The "soul" these pieces have is astounding (plus the history). I have bought some modern Lodge pieces and power sanded the cooking surface etc, used the hell out of them and not one beat the first use of a vintage Griswold or Wagner. BTW you can find a Wagner or Birmingham Stove pan for less sometimes. I would avoid the Wagner 1891 series if you're planning on starting a collection. There's just not any residual value in them. If you just want a cheap "cooker", they'll beat a Lodge pretty much any day as they have a machined smooth cooking surface.

The Wagner 1891 series is just a gimmick they did. They were built in the 1990's. Not bad, but like you said, not a collectable or anything "special" but it will cook food just like anything else. Not really sure what rabid or OP are really wanting to get in to. Tip your foot in the pool or jump right down the rabbit hole? It can get deep, trust me.

There is a flea market/vintage store in Jackson, LA called the Chit Chat Cafe. They have 12-15 cast iron skillets in good shape. Most were Griswold or Wagner. About #8 size. They need to be reseasoned, but no pitting or rust.
