Jim, Do yourself a favor and look up Squimpish hair!

Are you using a full sized grease gun that takes the big tubes? I'm using a little gun that takes the oversized toothpaste looking tubes. It's kind of a short stroker and a few squeezes is needed. Real low pressure. Not sure if it is true or not but I was warned if you use a full sized gun and pump hard that you can damage the bearing seal. Anyone else know that this is true or not? I'd like to know. Grease cheaper in bigger tubes.

I pump until I get good looking grease. The color of what it looks like in the tube.

Two more restored, A Wagner #7 circa 1920 -1924 no to make this food related. A Waterman 6 gem pan or gem iron. Nathaniel Waterman was the first to make gem pans. Patent in 1859. This could be that old give a few more years. There are several styles of Waterman gem pans. Some worth big bucks. Mine is pretty common. I have done a few gem pans and they can be a pain to clean. Too many nooks and cranny's. Even though this one was carboned up real thick it went smooth. We will make this food related now. I gave it a workout and made gems this afternoon!

Nice Randy! Thanks I owe you a phone call friend.

Been there done that! Yessiree.

That was one of my thoughts also start to wear your safety glasses man. Muzzle optional

First we found the trigger guard then the pile of scat and not much farther the tracks. I'd have to shoot him in the knee because I'm not going to outrun him or out pedal him on his bike and we know what happens to the slowest one inline.

Sooooooo @Mitch f This Ozark Angler and I know her very well took the path that said bear right and lookie at what se found 🤪

Helllllooooooo @Mitch f Hint there were not any bells in it.

Hey @Mitch f Do you know what this is?

Bingo you are not Mitch .

@Mitch f Do you know what this is?

Since the deep freeze may be over I filled the e-tank and started it up. Have three pieces in it fizzing away. Two skillets a Wagner and an unmarked one. Too much crud to see any marks right now. Then there is a waterman gem pan.

STOP FLAPPING YOUR JAWS SO MUCH Might help and I hope you now I jest. I couldn't pass this one up to poke at you 🤣

Thanks for sharing your skillet!

As promised for @Terrierman Rick and others that may be interested, Awhile back I piggybacked on a post by Rick about a lodge he had found. I posted an Erie skillet I had found and told him I would post when I got it restored. Finished it yesterday. Cleaned up real nice and seasoned up real good. Circa 1880 -1905. With a bit more research I may be able to narrow that down to more of a specific date. It is a rather cool piece and I even put it to work for breakfast this morning. It has been very well used but not abused. After the cleaning I was happy to see something cool on the bottom. Right above the D that is next to the 8 is another mark. A flower I call it. A pattern maker mark. There are several different marks out there It is either a pattern makers signature or something to do with quality control. There is some sulfur pitting on the bottom. Real common for something this old. Caused by high sulfur content in the gas or coal used to heat the skillet. While I was doing one skillet I did another at the same time. It is a Vollrath Circa 1950 -1960. Both of these skillets have a smooth slick cooking surface. So the Erie did some work this morning. As the Mrs. scrambled eggs in a #10 Wagner I reheated and crisped some potatoes. These potatoes are the bomb. Diced up with some onions, coated in goose fat some S&P then a serious dusting with some dehydrated chanterelles I had run through the coffee grinder. They were then roasted in a 450 degree oven. Good yesterday and leftovers this morning in the skillet!

Wrench do you have plenty of Mercury and other Asian made parts on hand? 😷

This thread was really good until it got butchered and turned cheesy. Never thought I would get so much information in the dairy isle.

Oh no this isn't what I get from him. This will be something special that I have had for some time

You ever heard of the boomerang effect?

Grandma Vi's pancakes are pretty good.

Is that a typo? Maybe fat instead of flat?
