What size is it Maynard?

I *think* you have a skillet lid with the DO,  one of the big boys will be able to tell you for sure! :)  (And if so, I'd guess that the lid is worth more than the DO...)

What you have there is a Hinged Cover Dutch Oven. According to the Blue Book, Made Circa: 40's-50's, in excellent condition about $95.00. The prices of CI are off now so probably around $60.

The thing that made me think it was a skillet lid were the ears on it... now that Sam has identified it, and I found it in the BB, I see that I was wrong! :)  (I didn't see it on my first go through in the book)

Howdy Charlee, I did not measure it but I would say 10 - 11 inches across, there are no numbers on it that I could find, the cover really seems to fit the kettle nicely.

The hinged oven should have a number on the bottom...2568.  

They also made a 2578, that I believe was prior to the handle style change on the hinged ovens.  The 2578 has the wire bail style ears, but came with No wire bail handle and has a hinged lid.  I dont think the 2578 is in the book, and you seldom see one.  If I remember correctly, the #2578 came with a standard hinged oven lid, not a skillet lid.  Both in chrome or plain cast iron.

I have always liked the looks of the hammered finish Griswold, and a nice set to own is the #2058 hammered hinged oven ( Page 149 red book), and the Hammered hinged skillets, regular and deep (page 135 red book). .  The #2098 lid works with the oven and both skillets.  And they all came in iron or chrome finish too.

Maynard,  I would say it is worth it.


Jerry,  I have the hammered hinged DO in black iron,  and I have to agree,  it is a work of art :o.

Will,  I think the hammered line of cookware is some of the finest finished stuff Griswold made, inside and out.   I had a set like I mentioned earlier, and is one among many that I wish I'd kept.  Everyone has different likes and dislikes, but I'd rather have a complete set of the Hammered Griswold line including the Waffle Iron and Griddle than many others they made.

There is a #8 hinged DO lid that does not have the ears on it.  I'm of the opinion that this should not have the ears on it, even though it is shown that way in the BLUE book.

Based on my research I agree with Greg.

I'm interested in that lid with the ears if you want to sell it, let me know. I'm looking for a hinged #8 Gris skillet lid. If you don't want to seperate I'll buy the pair.

The hammered hinged cover is made to fit a skillet, or an oven.  The rim that set down inside the pot is round, and doesnt contour to fit the pour spouts like a regular skillet lid, or the regular hinged skillet lid.

I believe the #2578 I mentioned earlier has a plain hinged oven lid.....No ears for a skillet.  Wish I could remember the pattern number of the lid.  I'm going to look and see if I might have it in some old records.

Jesse, does your 2598 have the contoured rim to fit into the skillet pouring spouts?

It looks just Like the one above except for the rim.......... :)

I believe the 2500 series lids are skillet lids and wont work on a DO.  I do not know the pattern number for the lid showing on the 2568 oven on page 67 for the blue cover book, but it will work on both hinged skillets and hinged ovens.  Just as the hammered hinged lid 2098 on page 32 will work on skillets or DO.

PS.....I can only "assume" that they made those oven lids with skillet ears to work on either one.

Yeah, the more I look into it, it looks to me like the BB is correct. Here's another example showing the lid well with the circular seal that doesn't encompass the ears as mentioned up thread. Looks like this lid wasn't numbered or marked in any way.
