#10 3-leg dutch oven.... Birmingham Stove??
« on: October 23, 2023, 10:19:52 PM »
A friend asked me to clean up a 3-leg dutch oven. His intent is to sell it. When I saw it, I told him he could get more for it if it looked decent. On the lid is "10", on the bottom is "MADE IN USA" and "10". The lid has a tab in the center, which I found difficult to locate a picture on the web, but I DID find one.  Is this a Birmingham Stove dutch oven?? If so, any idea on the value?

Looks like an early disamatic automated molded lid with the tab handle - late 1960's to early 1970's. A new Lodge #10 sells for about $65 on their website. The one in your photo would make a good user if the tab lid isn’t an issue. I would say it’s on par with a new Lodge. It looks like it is in pretty good condition. Shouldn’t be too difficult to clean up.

With no basting points and the tab handle, I'd say Birmingham. :scratchchin:

Thank you for that information. If it is, indeed, a BSR, is $65 still a reasonable asking price? Without any information, when I first saw it I told my friend that I would be comfortable starting at $50... Looking forward to seeing how this looks when it's finished. Who knows?? It might become mine!

as Russell has stated, definitely a BSR, late 60s, early 70s.  with no major pitting, $60 to $70 would be a good price for it with a good seasoning, keep in mind that BSR camp ovens are deeper than other camp ovens and will cook more variety of food.

Thank you!  I really like that dutch oven! But I will pass on this one myself.... If I ever get another dutch oven to compliment the Wagner I already have, I will get a bigger one.

I don't anticipate doing any outdoor cooking, but who knows??
