Deep Skillet Wagner Ware Price Okay?
« on: May 25, 2016, 04:03:43 PM »
Hi All, Being new to cast iron cookware I need some help Please!   Is $45.00 a reasonable price to pay for this Wagner Ware Chicken fryer ? Is the lid a BSR lid? I have not seen the condition yet. It has been restored with grapeseed oil.
 Thanks for any info!
Donna

Hello Donna, And WELCOME!

Prices have been all over the place the past 12-18 months. 

IMO the Wagner Chicken Fryer is about $35 to me (there are several different 'model's, and I can't quite make out details (pour spouts, assist tab, etc. ).
The lid is definitely not Wagner.

It may be a lookalike BSR of Asian origin, as I do not see the size markings in the center of the lid that would be expected.

The more pictures, the better. :)  Always.

Congratulations on navigating the picture posting hurdle on your Very First Post!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

A bit steep considering the pair are a "marriage".  :-/

Donna,
  If you're looking for the correct lid, I think I have one or two ;)
  No shipping if you can make it to our convention this fall...

Donna, that lid looks to be Asian... what we call a BSR knockoff.

So the value is in the Chicken Fryer.
Stuart, my eyes get crossed on the different Wagner Chicken Fryer lids... :D

True, but the few "spares" I have are at least Wagner made
