Identify lids?
« on: November 10, 2023, 11:42:51 AM »
First post here, found this old iron in a friends back yard, a Griswold and a Wagner, was hoping to find out if these unmarked lids are worth cleaning up.
I am building an E tank and am going to try to save these. I tried to ad pics with no luck.

Thank you,
Len

Hello Len,

And Welcome!

Lids/Covers are always worth the effort to restore! 

(PS... when uploading pics, ignore the error... click again.. and usually by the THIRD click the pictures load... I call it the Server gremlins at work! :smiley:)

Welcome, Len.  I agree with Cheryl, so long as it isn't majorly chipped or cracked, lids are very useful and can be very valuable.  I also agree that the Cleaning & Restoration page is tremendous and contains the accumulated knowledge of WAGS members.
