Saw this in an antique shop a couple time prior to today. Stopped in today and the skillet was still there. I looked it over, moseyed through the store stopped at the checkout where the owner was standing. Asked if he had any wiggle room on the Chicken Fryer. He looked at it as was priced at $58.50, said $50. I said $40, he said $48.50. I said $40. He said $45 I said $40. He said I can live with that, and I handed him 2 20's. It is a Lodge #8 with the oval blob with 3 printed on it. Pan needed cleaning but not overly dirty. May have been painted at one time. Little crud around the 3-notch ring which came off after a couple hours in the lye bath. Scrubbed with SS brush and put it in the electroless tank. Will see what it looks like in the morning but will more than likely will take several more hours. Pictures when it gets cleaned up. Forgot before it went in the lye bath.
