I wrote a lengthy message, but decided to cut to the chase.
Last weekend I bought what I believe is a Griswold Iron Mountain 1033b skillet with a 1088 lid at a flea market. I'm just beginning to learn about CI collecting, but the quality of what I bought seems to be very high and I have no doubt they're the real deal. The p/n is very clear on both pieces and they're both in really good condition.
If I understand correctly, the no. 8 low dome lid is fairly unusual. Is that correct? If so, I'll have some follow-up questions. If not, then I'm thrilled with my purchase and will continue on my merry collecting way.
For what it's worth, what I read here indicates that my other find at this spot in the road was a #3S BSR Red Mountain that I got because it was so darn cute. I've already stripped, reseasoned, and used it for a grilled cheese sandwich, based on instructions on this site.
