Wagner Original 1891
- Thread starter JosephDurham
- Start date
They were the centennial "special edition" and were made in 1991.
They were produced for more than just a year, and actually began production in the late 1980s. They are referenced in a letter to the editor in the July 1989 CICN:

*the editor is incorrect in stating that Wagner began in 1891 as Sidney Hollow Ware Co.

*the editor is incorrect in stating that Wagner began in 1891 as Sidney Hollow Ware Co.
Which part is incorrect? The 1891 or the Sidney Hollow Ware Co? Or Both?
Wagner bought Sidney Hollow Ware's foundry to make a second line of cookware, but found it diluted their main Wagner sales. They sold it back to the original owner, who did not resume making cookware.
