The one I'm currently messing around with is sold on Amazon as a 3 Qt.
Cast Iron Deep Skillet with Lid and selling for a very reasonable $24.99.
Your skillet looks a lot like what I call 14 gauge black iron. I used to
run a computerized plasma cutter that cut out designs and patterns on
10'x36" and 46" black iron as well as all kinds of sizes and gauges of
galvanized sheet-metal. Also plate up to a thickness of about 1/4".

I don't think your carbon steel skillet would work too well for frying
Chicken, at least not without a lid, and wouldn't work at all for baking
a small chicken with potatoes, carrots, etc.
