Help identifying 8 griddle

[Kevin Page]

This griddle has an 8 and ridge on the bottom and I can't make out the name. Looks like it says Wagner.

The handle and raised molder's mark are not consistent with any Wagner I'm familiar with. Where does it look like it says Wagner?

In the first picture above the line, it's very faint. will it hurt it to put into my oven on self clean?

Hi Kevin,

Here is a link to an earlier thread that might help you. Just another unknown early gate marked piece.

Thank you for your help

Could this possibly be a Favorite? Looks like an R near the end of the name.

Where does it look like it says Favorite?

If you could put up a photo of the area of the lettering, might help.

I used a knife to point at what looks like a letter (R).

Here is a video shot I put on You tube

The ridge in the middle is what you call a gate mark. That is where the molten iron was pored into the mold itself.

Your photo and the you tube are not that good, bad lighting and out of focus. Sorry.
