What is the production date range of Wagner with #3 on the bottom?

Just found this little guy. I don’t think I’ve seen one with the #3 on the bottom. I’ll check the BB when I get home ... but I’m impatient ... so, can anybody tell me when this was made?

Is that a flat bottom skillet or is it a really worn down heat ring skillet?

It seems to be smooth, but the edges seemed to rounded like a Favorite. I’ll compare it to my other ones when I get home.

These pics will show what I mean by the edges being rounded.

When I put a straight edge across the bottom, you can see light in the middle. A business card on the inside, sits flush.

Well, the RB says 1925-1930. I don’t have many Wagners, but it looks like that raised edge on the bottom is common. My pie logo #3 seems to be like that, too.

IMO, I would place the Stylized Logo with Size Number more like early 1920's... circa 1923-24....
