Lodge #8 Arc Logo Skillet

Bought a very nice Lodge #8 skillet with the arc logo today at an estate sale. I'm reading that it dates from 1910 to the early 1930s. It sits perfectly flat and has an extremely smooth milled cooking surface. This is the first one I've ever seen "in the wild."

Are these considered uncommon, or maybe somewhat rare? Any estimate as to value?
 
Far fewer marked Lodges exist than unmarked. Most avid collectors will encounter one or more over the course of time, but the fact that most are 100 or more years old contributes to the scarcity. Many times, the arc logo comes as a surprise when years of crud are removed. #8 is the most common skillet size, so not as valuable as, say, a #12. Look at eBay "sold" prices for an estimate of value.
