Saw a few cast iron skillets with the heat ring,,single notch at 12 o'clock and the number "8". Maybe an older Lodge,,or a re-make ?
 
I will go back and check the condition of these to see if I need to purchase them. Anything to look for in lids for them?

Most #8 lids should fit (although a recent #8 Favorite lid I got was a bit too small). A period-appropriate Lodge lid will have a flat top under the handle, drip points arranged in a grid, and a raised molder's mark. Here's an example of a good match, similar to the one I recently found:

I saw a few of those too,,,as well as a couple of deeper pots (Maybe 4") without lids. Also a couple of sautee-styled pans without lids.
