Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help with these questions! Today in an antique store I came across an Erie Dutch oven (I think it was a number 6), no lid. The seller wanted $55 for it. Does this seem like a good deal, assuming the oven is in good shape?
Secondly, in a junk store I found several flat bottomed #5 skillets that looked unmarked (can't really tell till cleaned). The 5 on the handle looked Wagnerish, as do the skillets themselves. The handle had a "N" incised in it on the bottom right on the flat plane just before meeting the bottom of the pan. I think they are unmarked Wagner. Would $8-9 be too much to give for one of these?
Third, I found a Griswold slant epu #7 with heat ring in ok shape for $20. There was a slight warp to the pan (not enough to make it a "spinner", but definitely noticeable). Unfortunately, when I got enough of the gunk off the sidewalls I discovered a hairline crack opposite the handle end that extends about halfway from the lip to the bottom of the pan. If I sell the pan should I be able to recoup the money I put into it or should I hold on to it as an example of bad luck of the draw?
Finally, I picked up a BSR red mountain #8 skillet with matching red mountain lid in junkyard for $7. They are in perfect condition after restoration, with no pitting, cracking, warping, etc. I wasn't able to find anything quite like them on ebay, and am considering selling them. What would be a reasonable amount to expect from such a sell?
Again, thanks in advance for your help with these questions!
