Bed Bath & Beyond carries a full line of cast iron cookware … if you can't get it there, try any 'camping' store … we have REI here in Seattle, and they also sell it, but you can try REI.com online … I don't know if they have a website, but you should get 'good directions' if you put that on your URL line and there's no site by that name.

the big pots I inherited are Le Crueset. The company is still in business and they have a store in the outlet mall in St Augustine, FL. You can probably find it online. Be prepared to spend about $80-100 per pot. References :
Cast iron, when properly cared for, can last practically forever. So, try searching your local antique shops. I have seen old cast iron at every antique shop I've been to. In my experience, the price is usually very reasonable. You can barter it down a bit too, of course.
I'd say that would be the closest you could get to what your Grandmother used. But real cast iron is real cast iron whether it was made this year, or one-hundred years ago, so if you don't have any antique shops nearby, and you end up you find some nice pieces from any of the other suggested sources, great! You'll still have quality cookware that will last you a lifetime.
The famous Griswold iron cookware company closed their doors in 1957-probably what Grandma had. Fortunately,the pans are just about indestructible and very collectable. There's a ton on e-bay and other web sites. You may be able to find them at estate sales and antique shops,even yard sales.The price range is between $10 for a used distressed pan to thousands for rare mint condition sets. You can have a lot of fun searching and finding pans. References : http://www.griswoldandwagner.com/
