From what I know, the cast iron process changed around 1957
That is interesting. I've never heard that in particular. I just always knew that old Wagner, and old Griswold was almost always good stuff. And even when it's ready to be seasoned, it's a lot smoother than some of the stuff you get today. And if you get some of that stuff made in China, it feels like a concrete driveway...

All of that is true. I studied it all a while back and started shopping for vintage cast iron. It was much better back then, and I can't remember all the reasons, but I know the process of making the cast iron completely changed around then. Cast iron pots became much heavier after that, and more difficult to season and hold the season.
The older stuff is lighter, but actually the quality is better in all phases. Griswold and Wagner is all good stuff. Hand crafted from black sand molds prior to 1957. Mass produced now.

Lol. Me, you, Map, Fin, and Rouge (that I'm aware of)... Sit around and chat cast iron...
I just knew one reason for the weight difference was that the walls were thinner in the old stuff. And for whatever reason, it may be the mass production, the walls are now much thicker which leads to have your weight. But I've also noticed that the bottoms of the skillets and pots are thinner too.

You don’t cook a tomato gravy in cast iron.

Oh it’s fine to cook something tomato based in cast iron, you just have to transfer it right after.
The ferric taste comes from letting it sit.
