Would like to find used cast iron implements. Where?
I would like to venture to cast iron cooking but, I am to cheap to buy new stuff at $100 or near. Where do I look for bargains and how often do they appear? ThANKS

Most of what I have I got through Ebay, thus it is older. For example, Wagner is 1890 or before. Wagner-Ware, thus, after that date.
Get yourself into some source on the history of any brand you look at, then get yourself one item in the late 19th century or early 20th c., & you'll have something to compare to all you now shop for.
Also, get yourself an online friend, one who is not buying stuff from your geographic area, and talk cast iron. Said friend will help you learn how to evaluate what you see in person and what you might buy at a distance.
& the words I'd use for the local neighborhood family or community group offerings, is 'yard sales'.
Enjoy the search.
