I think it’s really cool how Lodge resurrects a retired product from their archives once a year.

I wish Weber would do the same with some of their old accessories.

Is anyone else puzzled by why that very old catalogue Lodge has a picture of near the top of the page you linked to is in French?

I just noticed, it's a catalogue from 1902.  That makes the fact that the text is all in French but the prices are listed in dollars even stranger.

Wow. Good eye. Lightning. That is attention to detail. But now that you mention it. Yes I am puzzled as well

This is an easy puzzle. Their customer base at the time must have been French.  They must have been sending their products west. Louisiana or St. Louis perhaps?  Just a guess but I can't imagine any other reason. 

Edit: after a quick search, lodge names the first foundry after a friend. Blacklock 1896-1910. That foundry burnt down and the next was lodge manufacturing. They apparently lost most of the molds and diagrams. They had both French and English catalogs. So I'm guessing that covered the majority of their customer base. Maybe the French versions were the only ones to survive the fire.

I should've posted this earlier in the day when I received the email, but Lodge has a 30% off sale on their skillets and lids today only.

Saw this at the thrift store, never knew Lodge made one so small. Not sure what I'll even be able to use it for? But had to have it.

My brother in law gave me this 12" lodge.  It had caked on seasoning that I couldn't remove by normal methods and It's not special enough to completely strip so I decided to try a quick surface smooth and restore. I hit it with a palm sander for five minutes. Changed paper a few times because it will cake with seasoning until you get down to some metal. I just sanded until smooth while leaving the seasoning in the "valleys" of the surface.  It's getting seasoned now. I'm interested to see how it cooks.

The skillet passed the egg test and came out very smooth. That's just oil on the surface making it appear rough. This might be my favorite surface as opposed to rough or polished completely smooth. Best of both worlds maybe and takes very little effort or time.
