If you just want to cook on it, and not collect it, cast iron cookware can be had for pretty cheap. a Lodge fry pan at WalMart is probably around $20.00 new.
And used cast iron (that isn't vintage) can be bought for very little money.
I bought this 12" Nordic-Ware skillet off of offerup.com for $8.00

A little elbow grease, time, and some seasoning turned it into this:

Just because it's rusty, does not mean it's a goner.
As long as you maintain them properly, your grand-kids will inherit them one day.
