Can You Guess What I Bought

In the past ten years I have bought probably less than 10 pieces of iron on ebay but I am always checking for listings that are near me that I can check out and pick up in person. A few weeks ago I found this $10 Buy it Now listing for a skillet that was about 30 miles from me. I noticed two clues in the pictures and one in the description that caught my attention and made me think it was a good deal so I figured I would take a chance and bought it. Can you guess what I bought?

Doug is correct. I thought I could make out Wagner under the crud and then noticed there wasn't a number on top of the handle so I assumed the 6" measurement was correct and hoped it was a #2. Since it was only $10 and a couple miles out of my way on my drive to work to pick up I figured "why not". When I went to pick it up he had it sitting in another skillet marked 3 on the handle and it was smaller so I knew it was a #2. He offered me the #3 for another $10 and I took it too. These are what I ended up with.

The skillet on the left is an Ahrens and Arnold that is shown on page 301 of the Blue Book.

Thanks all! I've purchased over a 1000 pieces of iron over the years without the use of ebay but I'm always looking for deals on local listings. These are duplicates of pieces already in my collection so they are just inventory for my annual fall sale.
