2021: Returning to Brimfield In Search of Cast Iron

[@victoriabarnfield8251]

I found that same wagner roaster at the Good will for $10 dollars!😁 That was my treasure and I use it for roasting the 🦃 I love cooking in the old vintage cast iron 😊

You need to check out Collinsville flea market in Alabama if you are in the area. It is about a 75 minute drive from South Pittsburg, TN.

I bought a couple pieces from that husband/wife couple that had the pieces for the reasonable prices. They were super friendly!!

Eric : you are pretty lucky to be able to go to a. Antique show like Broomfield or where ever , out here in montana we have NOTHING like this in my part of montana any way.. Love watching all your videos Thank you for what you do to promote the cast iron world, every one dad's a little more to the cast iron world THANK you Frank from montana...

Thank you for the tour of Brimfield. It was so much fun!

[@kathyabeauty]

I enjoyed your tour thru the fair! I bought olive wood spoons and my friend got a lovely end table. Thanks for your hard work creating this video. I also filmed on Sept 11, but took a slightly different approach.

Congratulations on your treasure’s! 🎉

[@mikem9006]

Your videos are absolutely incredible. I fell like I am there with you. I have more than a few skillets and other cast iron items. Thank you!!!

[@bdh3949]

Wow, that place is cast iron nirvana. I don't think we have anything like that near where I live in CO. Nice scores and thanks for taking us with you...fun video. BTW, I'm in my 70's and have been using cast iron since my 20's. There is nothing better. Currently I have in use: 2 outdoor DO's; 1 indoor DO; 1 ea.x 14", 12", 10", 8", 6" skillets; 1 x 8" square skillet smooth bottom and 1 x 8" sq. ridged bottom; 1 x tea kettle for the wood stove. Retired and now sitting on the mantle are: 1 x 3 qt cauldren (S&P Phila) c 1850's-60's and 1 x 5" outdoor mini-DO c 1960"s. Thanks again.

[@benjames1581]

Loved this video. Ben

[@johnvincent9685]

Thanks for sharing , great video

[@castironkev]

Ugh, I gotta make the trip one year! Not sure if I go as a buyer or seller tho lol

[@castironchaos]

Well, you have an idea of what the prices are like, so if you do go there to sell you can compete with them.

[@raymond5194]

Very nice.

[@m01011216]

Bravo!

[@turdferguson5300]

I enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@heavymetalpermaculture]

Nice haul!

[@adamlemons7909]

Another great video! So jealous!!! We’ve been searching for a larger, 7 plus Qt kettle style Dutch oven but have nothing close to BF near us. Is there such a thing as personal buyers or brokers that don’t push the price past ridiculous in the cast iron world? Along with that are there any online sources that you or anyone would recommend? Blessings!

[@castironchaos]

I highly recommend checking out a Facebook group called Iron Man Cast Iron Auctions. There's a lot of great cast iron being sold on there, the folks on the group are very knwoledgeable, and the moderators of the group do their best to make it much more honest and trustworthy - and affordable - than eBay.

[@adamlemons7909]

@@castironchaos Thank you!

[@jameskaten8291]

Would the aluminum roaster have originally had a wire bale?

[@castironchaos]

This particular one did not have a bail. It also did not have a place for a bail, so it was never designed with one.

[@arleneosborne7995]

At close to the beginning of this video, you pick up a skillet and say possibly French made. What leads you to think that?

[@castironchaos]

It had the same design as a pan found later on, which was marked as made in France.

[@meldlew]

Why is that “not” a salesman sample?

[@castironchaos]

Actual sample pieces given to salesmen were extremely rare; and also, they made thousands of tiny stove sets especially to be sold as toys. Yet, in antique malls all over the country these tiny stoves are always labeled as “salesman sample” when they were actually made as toys.
