Sausage Pan help.

[Levi Hughes]

Hi.
Can anyone help with identifying a piece of cast iron cook ware? It was originally owned by my partners dad. As you can see from the photo's it has 8 scallops and underneath it says 'Wagner Ware' and 'Made in U.S.A.'. We use it for sausages and so call it our sausage pan but I'm not sure if this was its original intended use. We were wondering how old it might be. We live on the south coast of England and I can't find where you can get these in the UK, so was curious how it came to be here.

Interesting piece. The "Made In USA" would normally place a piece post-early 1960s. These pans, breadstick pans, were usually of the 11-cup design. The close-up of the trademark suggests to me that this may be a counterfeit; the stylized lettering being a little "off".

To counterfeit this piece wouldn't make sense to me. The finish quality is typical of some Wagner in later years meaning not very good. I can't recall if I ever saw this pan when new; it's definitely a strange piece of Wagner.
