Want to make sure about these lids on Dutch Ovens with legs. We had a discussion that some were made by Wagner. Now was this one was made by Wagner? The reason I'm asking is the oven is fully marked with Griswold and Erie, PA. Did some one replace the lid? Should this lid be on a Tite-Top or a Griswold CO without the Erie, Pa? I just want to get the correct lids with the correct ovens.

This one says Erie, is it the only one made by Griswold?

Dwayne, the one marked ERIE with a pattern number was made by Griswold, the others were made after the company and name were sold.  Also if the bottom has a pattern number 310, then it is post Griswold.  If it is 180 then it was made by Griswold.

Thank you, that's what I thought, but wanted to make sure. The slant Griswold TM was throwing me. The books aren't very clear about Dutch Ovens with legs.

Dwayne,
 To answer your other question at least for size ten is there is another lid made by griswold or ERIE as the case might be and it is what I refer to as the ERIE lid and it is marked only with a PN.
