Thrift store finds today. Griswold Dutch oven lid 1289

[PBBurkett]

I found a clerk putting these on the shelf today at the Goodwill thrift store. They were $2.99 each! First, an unknown lid for a Dutch oven possibly. Next, a Griswold 1289 Dutch oven lid.

Nice score !, and at that price a real steal! Hope you have or can find the other halves to make a great set.

WOW ! Nice sore on the Griswold lid.

 

[NLevine]

Wow! Excellent score indeed!!

I'll give you double your money on the Griswold lid :mrgreen:

PB, your Griswold lid is coated with enamel on the inside and was called a "clean easy" lid. It's also known as a "button lid" because of the TM on the top. Although I'm a new collector, I speak with authority on this topic because I have that lid and DO...and I bothered a lot of people to find out what it was and how to clean and season it! (Right, Doug?) :chuckle:

Thanks for the info! Got a link to show me proper way as well? I went back today, hoping for some lidless DO's to be there, but no dice.

PB, if I am correct about this, here's the link to my questions about said lid and the feedback I got from group members. You may have to scroll down to get to the meat of it....

Good luck with your lid. (I haven't worked on mine yet...too cold up here!) And WAY TO GO! --$2.99 indeed!

Cool, thanks! Any ideas on maker of other lid anyone?

I looked through the info on no-name iron and didn't run across any reference to a lid without some kind of drip technology on the underside. Maybe Doug can help you.
