Thanks again. I'll post info on my results later.

Actually there shouldn't be any lead in iron cookware. But with any antique cookware its a good idea to check. You never know what someone may have experimented with. I have a brass samovar from England that I first didn't worry about, then I noticed a small repair at the base of the spout. It wasn't just tarnished, it was lead solder.
