Wagner Ware Question?

[Will R]

I am working towards collecting a set of Stylized Wagner Ware Sidney O skillets with heat rings and I’ve found one that doesn’t have the size number on top of the handle. It has the logo an catalog number on the bottom. Does some not have the size number on top?

The earlier "size number", pre-catalog number Wagner skillets didn't have the number on the handle. It's possible an existing pattern re-worked to replace the size number on the bottom with the catalog number failed to have the size number added to the handle.

Thanks Doug, so without the size number on the top means it’s older. Thanks

A Wagner skillet with a size number on the bottom (and not on the handle) is older than one with a catalog number on the bottom (and the size number on the handle).
