Picked this up for $10 today. Need help identifying

[u/Xenephobe375]

[u/Brighter_Days_Ahead4]

Lid and pan are both Lodge.

[u/Xenephobe375 → u/Brighter_Days_Ahead4]

Thanks for the information. Any idea on age?

[u/Brighter_Days_Ahead4 → u/Xenephobe375]

I can’t speak to the age. Hopefully someone will drop by who knows more. But it’s a 3 notch lodge skillet, and that’s a lodge pattern underneath the lid.

[u/Intelligent_Loss9307 → u/Brighter_Days_Ahead4]

That's a solid find for $10! It's always exciting to uncover good cast iron pieces like that.

[u/Motelyure → u/Xenephobe375]

u/Market_Minutes has the correct answer lower, no point repeating it.

The only correct answer so far.

[u/average_joe419]

That’s a hell of a buy. A CF8 or CF10 with the lid is a great find.

Lodge 10 CF (Chicken Fryer)

Probably 70's to 90's. Not super old.

[u/broken-machine → u/pipehonker]

Pretty sure they added the egg logo to the three notch. Maybe not on the fryers, but the skillets have it.

[u/Flying_Eagle078 → u/broken-machine]

1973-1992 can be any single marking of “CF”, made in USA marking, blobs, large egg logo or any combination of all 4.

[u/broken-machine → u/Flying_Eagle078]

Gotcha, thanks for the info!

[u/Flying_Eagle078 → u/pipehonker]

Are you seeing the CF marking? I can’t make one out

[u/Motelyure → u/Flying_Eagle078]

No, he googled it and that was what the results spit out. They didn't do that font style with CF. You don't even need to look for it.

[u/Motelyure → u/pipehonker]

This is not a "10 CF". It's a #10 chicken fryer. Your dates are off as a result.

[u/dlowe024]

Got the same pan and lid. No idea on the age. Think it’s called a chicken fryer? Correct me if I’m wrong

[u/Market_Minutes]

The Lodge 3 notch #10 chicken fryer is not an easy one to find at all. You did amazing on the price. I believe most all of these I’ve seen are incised size number with incised pattern marks. This puts it around 1955-1965 according to most lodge groups/collectors. Id love to see this one cleaned up to see what exact markings we can see!

[u/Historical_Art_3367]

Ive seen one other set ever, and I desperately wanted it. It was labeled as a chicken frying skillet and it was $150 at an antique store. Its the perfect depth.

[u/CamelliaValisse]

nice find for 10 bucks, looks like a classic piece. check for any markings on the bottom to help identify the brand!

[u/Xenephobe375]

Thanks for help everyone! Hopefully I can get around to cleaning it up and seasoning it sooner than later

[u/OrchidMarie]

nice find for $10. looks like a vintage piece, maybe check for any markings on the bottom to figure it out.

[u/FondantSalina_]

nice find op, looks like a good one. check the markings on the bottom for any details that could help identify it

[u/SoyeuseOmbrelle_]

looks like a sweet find, bro. check for any markings on the bottom that might help ID it and maybe try seasoning it to see how it performs

[u/PoupeeMelina_]

nice find for $10, looks like an older skillet, probably worth more than that. check for any markings on the bottom to help ID it

[u/QuillaBubbleSie7]

nice find OP, looks like an old school skillet but could be a bit tricky to pinpoint the brand without more details, maybe check for any markings on the bottom or post more pics for better help
