Mcclary started making these in the early 30's - look under the handle for an X and 3 numbers. Findlay picked up the torch in the 40's and made them into the 50's and 60's. They are going up in value depending on who made it, seen them sell dirty for $50 to $70 lately. Post a picture of the back.
Spray it down with yellow cap easy off and put it in a garbage bag for a few days. Scrub it with stainless steel wool and repeat as necessary. Or if you want, drop it off to me, i'll toss it in my lye tank for a couple of days and restore it properly.
That Canter blog is hit and miss, linseed oil is a short chain fatty acid and doesn't hold up well to the expansion and contraction of heating and cooling. Crisco is best.
