I got this DO two weeks ago. As you can see, it is in great shape. The bottom is completely level with no hint of warping.
In the section on identifying unmarked cast iron, the Lodge lids from the 1930's have a raised molder's mark. This lid has a raised "T". There is a matching "T" on the underside of the tab on the lip of the pot. I bought the OD from the son of the original owner, so that, plus the matching marks means it is very likely to be the original lid.
There is a footnote for 1930's unmarked Lodge that says that it has a published collector's value. Where can I find that value? I am interesting in either selling this DO or swapping it for a #12 Sidney -O- and I want to make sure it is a fair trade before I make a serious offer to trade.
