Unmarked Lodge?
« on: September 16, 2016, 07:52:43 PM »
Went to a yard sale this morning and picked up a #8 chicken fryer without a lid.
The bottom has "10 1/2 inch chicken fryer, made in USA, and a small x". There's also an x on the handle bottom. An 8 is on the top of the handle. Is this a Lodge? No pictures yet until I find a compatible program for my camera and Windows 10.

It sounds like newer unmarked Wagner or GHC. Need photos to confirm. Be advised that quality of these castings varies greatly. They are not particularly collectible. Do not pay much if you need a user piece.

i agree with it being an unmarked Wagner. I believe my everyday user is this exact skillet. it has the exact markings.
Its being replaced with a CHF/Favorite #9 chicken fryer with lid that i found yesterday

I only gave  $10 for it. I don't have a chicken fryer, this one's a better casting than Scott's and if after I clean it up and decide not to keep it l'll sell it. Likely tho' it will be used.
