Can't see the bottom of the skillet.  So don't know what it is.   But that lid is nice.  Any on ebay?   That lid with smooth top is a $100-150 lid.   So what is this lid worth????  $200?  $250???

I'd say two hundred to two fifty would be a steal. I'd buy it. Get it cleaned up soon though, its been abused long enough. If I don't clean it right away I'd put mineral on it, that arrests the rust. ;)

I had a similar set year before last. I cleaned and sold on Ebay.  The skillet went for over $200.  Once I cleaned the lid I found it had a crack in it. It still brought around $100.00 with the crack. I was obviously disappointed when I found the crack because I figured the lid was worth more then the skillet.
Ebay is a crazy world. I have sold identical skillets within days of each other and one will go for two or three times the other. Just about getting the right bidders.
