Well since today is my birthday and it was to early to eat cake I decided to go to the cast iron junkyard for my weekly excursion to look for forgotten treasures. I got there about 30 minutes before they opened, and the owner came out and let me in the gate. So I had 30 minutes to look without anyone else being there. I found a few skillets, a #7 Griswold big logo, some Wagners, some old Red Mountain BSR's and a piece that looks like a Shepard piece, but found that the darn piece was cracked when I got home. I also picked up an old cast iron pedestal sink for my cabin. I rounded one of the corners and spied a gorgeous little stove sitting there. When I got to it, it was a Carolina Stove made by Glascock Stove company in Greensboro, and it had the original stove eye lifter with it, now how cool is that? I got a price on it, and the owner said, I got a Glascock dutch oven in one of the buildings. He showed me a gorgeous Glascock #11 spider with the lid. I told him that I will buy every Glascock piece he gets his hands on, just to save them for me. He said he bought this Glascock oven from an older man who said it sat on his grandmas fireplace since he was a little boy. He said, that he didn't remember his grandma ever cooking in it, it just sat on the fireplace.

And one of those spiders I bought at the auction last Saturday is a dead ringer for this Glascock piece,even to how the lettering was spaced.......but its a size #12.
