I'd like to collect a small set of skillets to give to a friend. I'm thinking skillet #s 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; maybe a dutch oven or two. These would be for cooking. Collectability would be a minor issue, though interesting marks might be a plus, as would age.
I'm leaning toward 1 or 3 notch Lodge (even though they are unmarked). My mother has 30s-50s era Wagner and Griswold but her favorite skillet is a 1-notch Lodge.
Are there qualitative difference between 1 and 3 notch Lodges? Any other brand that might be better for cooking in the same general price range and in ease of acquiring?
My family has always used enameled steel lids, is there a source for those?
Thanks,
gary
