clean an unused Griswold skillet???

[Marge Knowles]

so,  I bought this unused Griswold #8 large logo smooth bottom skillet.    the inside looks almost chrome, but it is not.   the outside is grey iron.  my question........there are a few spots on the inside.   not rust.  almost like a drop of something liquid dropped here or there.  would it be safe to use  steel wool to try to rub those spots off?   you can still see a little of the sticker residue,  and I want to leave that alone.   or should I leave it all alone?? :-/ :-/ :-/

Hi Marge, I'm curious why you would want to leave the sticker residue alone. What are your plans for this pan? And was it ever seasoned?

[Marge Knowles]

never seasoned.  thought the little dab of sticker residue  might make it more "authentic".   probably will try to sell it.

Ah, I see. I would let the buyer clean it then. I'm sure it will clean up nice if they know what they're doing. What do you think you'd want for it?
