Wagner Lid on Unknown Dutch Oven

[DMoughton]

Family heirloom so don't know history. Might be Wagner lid that just happens to fit some other brand dutch oven
Lid is definitely Wagner based on this website's picture number 33 of 54 on Identifying Unmarked Iron page.


Lid fits dutch oven body snuggly with no movement at all.

I don't know about the dutch oven body.
Wire handle with tipping handle on right side

Smooth bottom with only the dot 8 on opposite side from tipping handle

Appears to be unmarked Wagner, same as the lid. Although the expectation is that one end of the bail handle would would have the protruding "stop" prong. They may have discontinued that at some point, or it's a replacement. I have seen this same pot with the Wagner stop handle.

Any idea of age? The couple sites I looked at for Wagner were all about the differences in names.

Hard to say. The unmarked Wagner pieces with the dimensional or capacity markings (6-1/2" SKILLET or 5 QT.) appear to be 1960 or later. Wagner started offering dutch ovens with Pyrex glass covers in the mid-1940s, but those advertised wares should have been marked versions. Unmarked goods pre-1960 aren't likely to be seen in print ads, and even if so, newsprint illustrations didn't necessarily match the actual product offered. My guess would be 1950s on the pot. The lid may be a match or may be somewhat earlier.
