This Dutch oven is fully marked with the patent date of 1920. What year range was this made? The slant logo for skillets was until 1929, but I would think the Dutch oven logo would have gone longer, especially since is a #7.
Also, the bail handle broke on me at the bend. Would doing a spot and on the bail keep it strong enough?
I personally wouldn’t trust a spot weld on the bail. If it broke while in use it could be dangerous. I would take pictures of it and fabricate a new one, or purchase a new one from Lodge for a number 8 (unless they make one for a #7) and modify it to fit your #7. Sorry I can’t help you with the dates.
Season with mineral oil and put on display? Wouldn't suggest putting it to regular use. If you want to use it for baking, season with canola at 350 for an hour. I'd still argue against. Repeated heat cycling may worsen the crack and eventually it may crack up entirely.
