BSR Spider??
« on: December 01, 2019, 09:04:16 PM »
Hi all,  my brother picked up a spider while in Tennessee without a lid that i think is a later BSR.

I had a lid floating around that has no marking that i can see. It fits good on the spider.

I have a couple questions.

Does anyone recognize the lid?
Is the spider a BSR.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks C.J.

Charles the bottom appears to be BSR, the lid can you post a pic of the side?

The lid appears to be Lodge, but is there no size markings on it?

I think the spider looks very much like my BSR ovens, but the lid looks more like ovens I have had that I believed were cast across the pond, lids closely resembling Lodge but ovens having skinier more pointed legs.

The design sure looks Lodge, but I haven't seen a Lodge CO lid without a size on it.
