I'm virtually certain it's a Lodge, was wondering of they put the Made in USA on these after 1960? It has a raised 12 on the lid, and an inset 12 on the bottom with a small CO under that. At the other end is a small 8, no name, no Made in USA.

(Attached pic is my other one, they are identical)

Made In USA on Lodge is ~ 1965 or after. "CO" would place it late 50s early 60s.
 
Awesome, and I have a matched set, I've seen where you can stack multiple CO's to cook a feast. Do you have an idea of value? Both were quite rusty when I obtained them, oddly enough $40 each although I found them four years apart. Both had pitting on the inside bottom, but nothing major, and these didn't seem to be polished anyway so they'll make fine cookers. The reason I ask is I've twice seen them for $90 apiece which seemed steep to me, $40 being a more than fair price.
 
If you believe the red book, $175 for a #12 in excellent condition. Better, IMO, to take them when you can find them in decent condition, in the $50-75 range.
 
I looked on the bottom of my other one, it just has a small R by the 12, nothing else. Where would that date it from?
 
Probably just a pattern letter, not date-related. If no "CO", earlier than the other one.
