Wagner chicken fryer

[JR Doffin]

 The later ones  #1088 with assist tab and no pour spouts . What cover goes with that ?  Is there an iron cover or did it come with a Pyrex glass cover , maybe a 10c ?    I have an iron cover with the pour spout tabs and it does not fit its much to big around.      Thanks  JR

This iron one looks like a good fit to me..but I don't think it's a Wagner lid. Lodge? :-?

Only markings on that one are 10 1/4 and 8.

Maybe they offered both? Here's a Wagner glass one.

And it looks like a Griswold #8 DO lid 1288 will also work..but it ain't right of course.

Thanks for the links, Mark.  I have tried a favorite D.O.  lid on it that will work also, just a bit to small. My first thought was that it may have come with a glass cover . I'll keep an eye out for one , they show up now and then at estate sales.   JR

There are a few others, but I need to repair the attachments on those.
