Hello Danielle,
If it looks like the lid in the picture below, it was made by Lodge, not Griswold.

Is there any value to it at all?

Yes.  Depending on the condition they are in, they fetch between $50 to $200 on eBay.  That being said, you have to have both the top and bottom pieces, and they have to be really nice (no rust, pitting, etc.) to get over $100.00.  Of course, crazy stuff happens on eBay all the time.

Danielle,
For the sake of comparison, here is a 4-in-1 skillet that is listed on eBay right now starting at $99.00.  You can watch this and see what it actually sells for.

Hope this helps.

sometimes I'll check the show only "sold listings" box to see what a certain item has been selling (not asking $) for in the last couple of months...

Thank you all for your input. I never sell on eBay though. I am a vendor at a central Florida flea market.I just want to make sure I'm providing correct information and fair prices. I do clean and season ever item. I love the history behind every piece I find. Thank you

That link Bret posted was for the complete 2 pc set, and isn't the hammered lid like you have. And nobody bid the 99.00, so as Sturt said, always check completed listings... even if you don't sell on ebay.
I didn't see a current auction for just the hammered lid, but the link I posted was for one like yours that sold recently.
I would think you could try for 30 dollars at a flea market, but be ready to barter. Or you might want to try to pick up the matching deep skillet bottom, make them pretty and make more money on the set..it's possible.  ;)

Thank you Mark! I love this site. My husband does the cleaning I do the seasoning and research. I sell most pieces but... Me personally my addiction comes with the history of the pans...only if they could tell us their stories.
so with that said thank you all for your knowledge and willingness to help.
