Wagner #7 skillet

[CEKilian]

Picked this up at Goodwill today. Did some looking about Wagner arc logo. Looks like 1891-1910? Can that be right? This thing looks to be in great shape to be that old. Especially with the lack of seasoning. It has much more of a gray color like bare metal than the normal black seasoning color. Is it a fake, or recast? Inside dimension of the bottom is 8", topis 9 1/2", and sits 2" tall from bottom to top lip.



Thanks,
Clayton

Nothing about it to make me think it's anything other than genuine. Probably more towards the 1910 end of the range.

If it's flat and not cracked, that was a bargain.

 

[CEKilian]

Very cool. No cracks, sits flat, and virtually no clean up necessary. I think I did well. Thanks Doug.

Is that an "A" off to the right? That's fairly unique looking.

 

[CEKilian]

Yes, there is a capital A at about 3 o'clock.

Here's one of mine for comparison.

Wow, nice, and I thought mine was in good shape! That's a nice one Rick.

I paid a lot more than $13... You got a good deal!
