Found this in a antique shop. What would be a fair price, they had marked $65?

Depends on how much you want it. I think resale value on it, for me, would be around $45-50. I wouldn't want to pay more than $20 for it if I was reselling. If I wanted for myself, probably $35-40. I've learned to be patient and wait for good deals.
 
Thanks, I thought it was a little high and wanted to check with the experts. I'm new to this and I think I bought enough being inpatient. If I can get them to come down a little I might get it. I like the outside heat rings. What year do ya'll think it was made?
 
Although Vollrath made hollow ware up to the 1960s with no material update to the designs, the TM marked pieces appear to date to the 1940s at the latest.
 
It's a nice pan. I am a bargain hunter so I wouldn't go that high. 90% of what I have came from thrift stores and yard sales. The other 10% came from Flea Markets and Antique Stores. But half of my marked pieces were scored cheap at thrift shops at the same prices as unmarked usually. I also admit that I have paid more than I wanted too just to satisfy my itch!

I do "Get" Antique Store prices. It cost to have a nice climate controlled building with all the overhead and sometimes working off of a commission selling someone else's pickings! I love the old building flea market style "Junk Stores" that don't have the overhead and the prices sometimes reflect it!
 
It only had a slight rock to it and didn't see any cracks. But I will check it out a lot closer if I can get them to come down a little. Thanks for everyone's input.
 
David, my opinion is you should try to do a little bargaining on this skillet. My instinct says the seller is trying a higher price to see how it goes--they can always say no, but bargaining is the name of this game! Good luck!
