Tite Top Dutch Oven

[ESmith]

My aging father gave me a dutch oven he'd had under the floor of a shed. The bottom says "tite top dutch oven" but nowhere does the lid or the pot itself have indications of the brand name.

Any ideas of the maker?

Wagner made in Ohio from a modified Griswold pattern post-1960.

Thanks! It just threw me when I could find no brand name.

The Griswold logo was removed from the center, and the "Made In USA" added to conform with post-1960 trade regulations (and likely to reinforce consumer pride in US-made product as well). Wagner "de-branded" a number of Griswold patterns, in addition to putting the Griswold TM on formerly Wagner patterns, after the acquisition.
