Valsdad, that lid picture you posted is a self basting lid. Goes on a C.I. pot used for stewing, roasts, etc. The nipples are drip nipples allowing the moisture to condense and "self baste" the meat while cooking.
it is not the type of lid found on camp style dutch ovens. Those lids have a smooth underside.
Might be a Wagner or Griswold. Maybe lodge.

The one I mentioned is from a non camp style, when I am back in Minnesota I will get a picture of it and see if it is marked
So here is a unique cast iron pan. My mom is Dutch and moved here when she was 9. This pan came across the ocean on a ship with my grandmother, straight from Holland. It is called a Poffertjes pan (puff ah ches) and they are what we would call miniature pancakes. This pan is in mom's possession, but it will be passed down to me when she is ready to pass it down.
I also have an old Wagner pan I got from my Grandmother's house when she moved into a nursing home. I treasure the pan along with the old carbon steel knives I got from her.

Mine are indented, not little projections like wabi's .
Who knows, maybe they're to serve the same purpose? All I know is it's sure handy on the skillet!

I really like that little on the top of the stack of ovens.
Somewhere, sometime in life, I've heard of those "Poffertjes", maybe some cooking show my wife watches. I love the special pan for them. Hope it gets used regularly.

Some help if possible. Not critical, as it matters not to me in the long run, it fits my skillet which is why I picked it up for free. I saw it leaning against a wall, all rusty, in his shop, at a friend's place when he lived in MT. I asked about it and he said I could have it. What was I to do?
Can anyone ID the maker of this lid? Fits a 10" (??) skillet perfectly. No ID marks, just a distinctive handle.
close up of handle:
Dimpled on the inside:
It works great with the lodge skillet, no reason for me to ever get rid of it. Actually fits those round griddles I cook pancakes on and I've use it if cooking something on them that might spatter.
Your lid appears to be BSR, century judging by the uniform-ish pattern.
Older BSR Red Mountain have totally random indents like this:
