They came in sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14. Good luck on that complete set of Iron Mountain, skillets, griddles, dutch ovens, can't think of the rest right off the top of my head. Somebody else might be able to answer part of your question.  :-/

Iron Mountain came in.

skillets as Perry said 3 thru 10 plus 12 and 14
skillet lids 7,8,9,10
#8 chicken fryer with lid
#8 and 9 round griddle
#7,8,9,10 long griddles
#7,8,9,10 dutch ovens (with trivits)
I thinks that's it.

The chicken pan lid is a 1035. It is listed in the p/n listing as a #8 skillet lid. Does this serve both purposes? It doesn't seem to fit as good on the skillet as it does on the chicken pan

These are two different lids here. One is low dome, one is high dome, but I THINK they fit the same. The low one is hardER to come by.

The lid for the chicken fryer is for it only

The balance of the lids for the 7,8,9,10 are low dome lids.

After the chicken fryer lid, the #9 skillet lid is the easiest to find. The balance of lids is tough to find at best. Good luck to you Albert. I know I'm still looking for a few pieces. The #4 and #14 skillets are probably the toughest skillets to come by, but they can be found.

I have several of the IM skillets, for some reason or another it seems like I have a #4, not sure right now where it would be at, even if I do have it.

I bought a #4 off of Ebay because I needed one,  then in about 6 months two more fell into my possession.  Always happens....  :-/
