Unmarked Wagner #5 antique store

[REWilliams]

Anyone have a clue if this is a Wagner and what date range it could be?
No marking on top of handle. 5 on bottom center underneath. Recessed continuous heat ring. Long elongated handle and flat triangle to pan. Double spout.
Mother in law got it for me at antique store. Tag says “5 Wagner Skillet”…
Thank you!

Or "Wagoner". Wagner didn't do inset heat rings, at least not on its regular cast iron skillets. The inset heat ring, handle ridge and number at 6 o'clock tell us it's BSR. The small pour lips and neatly formed numeral tell us it's from the 1950s to early 1960s.

That makes more sense. THANK YOU!!!
I was leaning toward the antique store mislabeling it! But I’ve only been doing this for about a month.

I've seen several vendors in antique malls that have mislabeled items. Mostly they are unmarked skillets but my Chicago Hardware Factory chicken fryer is clearly NOT the Lodge it was labeled. I knew that when I bought it though so that's OK. I even tried to inform the vendor but he insisted it was a Lodge.

Around here if they don't know what it is, It's automatically an unmarked Wagner.
