ID no-name skillet
« on: August 28, 2015, 11:21:35 PM »
Hi everyone, I found a no-name skillet at a flea market a couple weeks ago, and I'm curious as to who might have made it.  It reminds me of my Erie skillet, but I think it's a bit heavier.  It has the "8" on the handle, but the only marking on the bottom is a small "B" at 6:00.  Outside heat ring, no notches.  Any ideas?

I would say that sure looks like an unmarked Wagner.

(looking at the handle, etc.).  An older one, with the Heatring.. :)

Hello Paula. I would not venture to say who made it. But I will say this, thats is a very nice piece. I don't know what else one could ask for in a skillet, unless for free. But its a beautiful old skillet. Congratulations.  :)
