Dug out some of Grandma’s old cast iron yesterday. I’m bout to throw out all that “non stick” bullshit I’ve been wasting money on....

Makes me think of your mom.
Just kidding
Self cleaning oven for a couple hours will have them looking bare bones brand new. Saves a lot of scrubbing on the rust but makes a mess.
I use my hand-me-down cast iron a lot.
My Dad gave me a bunch of Griswold cast iron pans for Christmas last year. I haven’t used any of my other ones (stainless or non stick) since then. Stuff is awesome.
I'm moving to all cast iron when we get the new house done ... I'm jealous, I'll have to buy all new except for one pan I've had for years.
Depends on how much gunk is built up and how even the cooking surface is. You probably don't need it on any but the rusty one. Plus you'd be erasing history. I'd wash with soap, wipe 'em down with oil, and bake em to get a fresh coat of seasoning on them
I bumped across this company a few weeks ago...

Good looking stuff.
You can by a lodge for half of what these cost and grind them down yourself and the quality is just as good I'm sure.

I cook in cast iron skillet or Dutch oven just about every night, the only thing I don’t cook in it though is eggs. I personally think a nonstick is better for eggs.

You can find some good deals on EBay as well. A lot of it needs to be cleaned and seasoned again.
