Anyone Know What This Wagner Is?

Bought 3 pieces at an auction this morning. The Wagner #2 skillet was sold along with the a small Wagner skillet that I can't identify. It has a 1355 part number on the bottom. I've checked the Blue Book, eBay, and Google search and have come up with no information. It measures 4 3/8" across the top. Any thoughts? Also, I picked up a Turk head pan that is only marked with a C at one end, on the bottom. Could this be an older Lodge? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response Doug. Went back to the Blue book and found the gem pan on page 256. I had a birthday 2 days ago, and I guess these older eyes couldn't read the 1365 clearly enough on the toy skillet, lol. I only have the BB and although it does list it in the p/n index, I don't see it in the pictures. Was it part of a set? What value does the RB place on it? Thanks for the help.
 
Happy belated birthday Jody. I have an older collectors guide to Wagner Ware which has a lot of the 1931 catalog pieces in it. In the book I have there are three different types of what they are calling a size 0 skillet and the prices shown there are $75-$100. Not sure if those prices are accurate but I have one and it was nickel plated and not in as good shape as yours.
Good catch.
 
Happy birthday Jody, it looks like you scored some pretty nice iron. :icon_thumbsup:

Thanks Bonnie. There were a lot of good pieces at the auction, but it was well advertised and drew many collectors with deep pockets, lol. Lately, I've been staying away from big collection auctions for that reason. "Hunting" for iron in the wild has become a big part of the fun for me.

Thanks MD, I appreciate the information. I guess I did alright. I bought the #2 and the 1365 as a pair for $55. at this auction, that was one of the few bargains. When I look at the small skillet, it still looks like 1355 to me. Does your older guide show such a thing?
 
Actually Jody the BB p.267 has the same three toy skillets at the bottom of the page the same as shown in my paperback book. A little different in prices but otherwise same photo. You almost have to imagine a six when you look at your pan # before you can actually see that it is a six. Think it only appears to be a 5 because of the pitting which distorts it somewhat. I have the toy one on the left hand side of the pic that has the three shown. It is the one with quotations around the name "Wagner".
