Is it worth dropping $300+ for one on eBay? What’s the best size for a large family?

Depends.

Make sure it sits flat. Make sure it’s not pitted. I don’t buy from sellers that don’t accept returns. If all that’s satisfied, then yes. They are appreciating in value as they have not been made in 60+years. There are some characteristics that make them more valuable than others-(too many to list here)

A size 8 is 5 qts. For a decent sized family I’d recommend a “10”.

Are they worth the extra $ ? Depends on what the individual thinks. I have the No 9 and No 10, I could prob get the same result in a lodge, but I like the Griswold, they are cool and I leave them on my stove for display.

If I were to buy a Griswold, I would get it from Cast and Clara Bell who specialize in restoring antique cookware. The Griswold #8 sells for around $300 on their site as well.
