Griswold Dutch Oven #8

[JHayes]

Do they make these with 3 legs? A friend of mine picked up one today and I can't find any pictures of one outside of the one she sent me.

 

[Doug D.]

Yes, they did. Dutch ovens with legs and heavy, rimmed lids are usually called camp ovens, or less often, country ovens or something similar.

 

[JHayes]

See picture. I'm trying to get a rough estimate of worth for her.

 

[Doug D.]

The "slant Erie" marking is early 20th century. Is there a lid?

Yes along with a trivet according to her but she hasn't sent me a pic yet.

 

[JHayes]

Just got the pics and she informed me she paid $15 for the pieces, man she got a hell of a deal.

 

[Doug D.]

The lid is also Griswold, but from their unmarked Iron Mountain line. A lid original to the pot would be flat, thick, and have a rim to contain hot coals placed atop it. From what can be seen, the trivet appears to also be Griswold, but would not have been supplied with a camp oven. The bail handle is also missing.

Although it's a mismatched set the way I see it, she bought the trivet for a good price and got the lid and DO free.

Nice set, although mismatched $15 is an insane deal!!
