New skillet.

I was just given a Wagner unmarked 10.5 inch Wagner skillet.

Free!  (My favorite price.)

Neighbor has a friend that runs a storage locker place,
and he gets CI all the time, and doesn't use it.

Frying pan is heavily "seasoned," and has LIGHT rust.
Has 10 1/2 inch and Made in USA on the bottom, a small H
on the bottom of the handle, and a large grunged 8 on the top of
the handle.  This thing's interior is smoother than any Lodge
piece I have, but needs to be burned out and re-seasoned.

Dutch100:
Soak in vinegar or Coke overnight to remove the rust

Mark:
I've iust discovered a couple of old corn stick molds and a flat-bottomed pot that had been semi-protected, collecting dust for decades in a carport. So the steps to rejuvenate are vinegar overnight, burnout in a fire, then grease it up to reseason it and bake it off in the oven?

Dutch100:
If light rust, soak in vineger or coke, then scrub/wash and dry. If you want to remove everything, turn it upside down in your home oven and turn on the self-cleaning cycle. When it is done, remove and wipe down with light coat of Crisco. Then bake at 450 degrees for 1 hour, then turn off and allow to cool. Ready to go.

I've found a different method, or oil to season with.

I use walnut or flax seed oil.  Both of them are "drying" oils,
and provide a MUCH more durable surface.  For cooking, I use
whatever tastes appopriate, but for seasoning, I use the above.

After burning off the "seasoning," the light rust came off with
a green scrubby.  The inside looks to be machined, instead of
the rough, pebbly, Lodge surface.
