I was given a nice old 10" cast iron skillet from the 1950's. Only problem is the former owner sprayed it with WD40 in his garage so she wouldn't rust. Any chance of bringing it back?
You may have a pan of some value media blasting and putting in a fire will ruin all collector value of the piece please research here before doing any thing these people are great http://www.griswoldandwagner.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl
