Trash or Treasures?

[Erin Deane]

Today I purchased a "lot" of random pieces from a lady 5 in all. A couple I have identified but do not know much about them. For insurance purposes it would be great to price them as my husband is a stickler for making sure everything in our house is insured *just in case*. I also am not sure what pieces I want to keep as I dont want to just keep every piece I see at a good price.

I paid $100 for them as a group:

1) Obviously a Griswold 2108 stamped on back- Came with a glass lid also with Griswold on it, is this lid originally made for it? Does it add value? It has a small chip on the underside edge.

2) Again not sure Has a heat Ring with 3 notches and a #8 on the bottom opposite the handle

3) No Idea about this one has a hammered edge and the #8 on top handle

4) Found on another thread that it is a Lodge 14US 3 notch, any idea of the replacement value of this one? Anything notable about it?

5) I think this was supposed to be a part of something like an oven or bbq or something. Its a large two sided griddle flat on one and ridges on the other. It says Lodge in block letters on the handle. It also has 4 marks like it should attach or be set on something.....

I have one of the variations of the No. 14 Lodge. I paid $25 or so.. I've seen them go for 4x that, but never less.

I don't know about all of them, but the one I bought is one of the smoothest of the skillets I own. Too large for every day, but great when you need it.

The lid definitely adds $. The chip does detract though. Lids are always getting lost or broke. When looking for what something is worth I always look at the an identical one in the sold section of Eva. Don't look what people ask look what they sold for. It will tell u what the market will pay and not what the price guides say.

The Lodge goes on top of a stove, fits down the center over an oval shaped burner. It is identical to the one on the stove I purchased 2 years ago. The notches in the corners set on pins to hold it in place

So I found the number for the lodge griddle and ended up selling it for $90 on ebay. Since I paid $100 for all 5 pans I think I am doing ok. I cleaned up the Griswold 2108 and the beaten pattern skilled today and they are seasoning now. Next up the large lodge and the med pan. I could not believe the half inch of crud that came off that Griswold. So far the first two have significant heat rings but are not cracked or warped.
