I don't see as many of the hammered Lodge #5 as I do the hammered CHF #5 or the hammered Lodge #3 and 8.  Offhand guess after it's cleaned up is mid-$20s to someone who likes hammered pieces if it isn't warped or has other defects under the crud.
The good chefs never burn anything--we call it "culinary brown"!!

I have sold 2 for around $25 each and they were near mint.

$25 is top dollar in great shape.....unless someone is wanting more than they are looking. The last hammered Lodge I had I sent it to one of my Lodge mentors, Sam Roberts.

I cleaned that #5 and an #8.  What would you guys say their condition is?  Good or Totally Awesome?  I think they look very pretty myself.

I can't take the credit for how well they cleaned up, it was all in the suds.

I have to say, I really like the thickness of these versus the new lodge skillets.  They're not too thin, just the right thickness I think.
