Steve, Greg, & Ed: Thank you for your very insightful opinions regarding the small logo, hinged skillet series. The Blue Book (3rd edit) seems to list substantially higher values for this series pans than their small logo, non-hinged counterparts. Why, I dont know as without the very hard-to-find lids, they only serve the same purpose as the non-hinged variety. Ebay prices seem to reflect what you said, Steve, in that prices for #3s, #5s, #7s, and #8s seem to be a tad above the conventional small logo series. #6s and #9s seem to consistently exhibit substantially higher values. Seeing how well common sets of #3 to #9 small logo and smooth-bottom large logo skillets seem to fare on ebay, I'd think a complete hinged set would bring some serious money (i.e. more than the sum of its parts). Only other oddity to the #6 I found today is that the number 6 is cast into the front handle section of the pan, unlike any of the other hinged nos. I have. Could be this was an early production unit, cast before Griswold did away with the upper handle number. Thanks, again, and best regards.
