Different size Renfrow Dutch oven?
I've only seen a few, but they have all been the same size so far. Just a hair over 10" from outside edge to edge.
Recently though I came across this one that had sold on Ebay. It appears to measure more like 9 1/2" and has a different marking on the bottom.
First 2 pics are smaller DO from ebay sale.

Next pics are my Renfrow.....which matches all the others I've ever seen *except* the one in the above add.

I know it's not a really well known or old foundry.....but I'm hoping someone knows something cause I'm looking for a lid......and I want to know if there are 2 different sizes.

If you want a lid for cooking only, I would try Goodwill. They have a lot of sizes, in metal and glass. Way cheap too if you can find one you like and that fits. I paid .99 for my one lid.
 
Yeah I do check Goodwill and other thrift shops and yard sales all the time. I have steel lids but I'd like one for in cast iron. I have a Griswold lid that *almost* fits and really does work to cook with but about 1/16" too big and doesn't sit all the way down into the pot. And really I'd like to have a matched set. Still looking. I will say goodwill in my town puts very high prices on their cast iron and on;y put out the modern stuff. Anything they get in that's actually valueable and old goes to their auction website. :(
 
Yeah Ive noticed that too. My wife quit working there due to the way the store was run. It used to be cheap..........
 
Had a Good Will about 30 miles away. Closed and moved to?? Church group took over with a similar type of store and being run a lot better, all volunteers from the church. Prices are good but I always round up + a little more sometimes if I think the price is a bit to low.
