No, I’m quite a distance from Peoria.
Good Goodwill if you’re ever up that way.

Not exactly thrifting but I picked this up free from Craigslist, someone’s roommate moved out and left it behind. Super sharp.

Score. Swedish steel.

Yeah I’m stoked, I think it’s carbon steel and must have been freshly sharpened before they tucked it away

I have the collector personality. I have a lot of hand-me -downs. I keep houseware gifts that relatives and friends gave me over the years. I still use things I bought 35 years ago.
I find many of my friends who had younger parents, and most of my millenial younger relatives, do not collect or reuse. They don’t have as many belongings but they’re also usually more wasteful.
Their houses are tidier. They send a lot to the landfill instead of thrift shops, or finding homes for belongings that are still useful, amongst friends.
I have one 30 yo cousin who thrifts with her husband, for housewares, toys, clothing. She’s the anomaly. I enjoy sending her stuff, because she appreciates things from the 1970s and 1980s.

Daughter 3 was visiting some college buds and they hit a thrift store; she got this wooden-handled CI.
It was $10 and I think might be an 8-inch (haven’t seen it yet; maybe even smaller). She says it’s slick inside/not sand casted so she got it (I told her I was done sanding down cooking surfaces on crappy Lodge CI), plus she likes the wooden handle. I got a wooden handled LC ECI skillet from a fellow HO about a year ago, and she really likes not having to use a hotpad.
No maker’s mark so no clue where it’s from.

Might. Be Japanese, as wood handles are common on Japanese pans…but of course I don’t know.

I have one exactly like that. Mine is marked on the bottom 6 1/2 inch skillet Taiwan. Wonderful for frying my breakfast egg.

Love it! Lodge is bumpy stuff. Sure looks like 8". Always wanted a wood handled CI. Good for her. Or you? Either way, you raised her right.

My Ikea cast iron skillet that I bought in 1998 also has a wooden handle, too.
