Carlisle Cast Iron

[John Wells]

Hello all.
What do y'all think about this?
Is this a Lodge Raised 8 lid?

I have a raised 8 dutch oven lid I thought was a Lodge. One person, however, said it was a Carlisle. I did a little research and found both Lodge and Carlisle DO lids with the dimple pattern shown. This is pattern slightly different that skillet lids because the middle dimple on the three dimple rows is not in line with the other two.

I did not find a Carlisle that was not marked "Carlisle".

I found find sources that speculated Carlisle was a private label made by Lodge.

Thanks for your help!

Carlisle either had to be made by Lodge or it used Lodge pieces upon which to base their patterns. There's a lot to sort out here. If Carlisle was made by Lodge, why would they make unmarked versions of a "private label"? I attempted to find an image of a marked Lodge DO lid with the misaligned outer row spikes but was not successful.

I believe that you have an unmarked Lodge lid. It has been my understanding that Lodge made Carlisle, as well as MacDonald.
Here are examples of Lodge and Carlisle.
