Mark,
The first picture... looks like that muffin pan is 'probably' a Wagner Style R pan... check it for markings on the bottom. 
No Clue on the skillets, as you can't even see the handles.

The other big kettles, no idea...and they were used for planters and are probably poor condition on the inside... most likely.  Now that first pot with the enamel lining may be worth a second look... check the bottom for markings. (and something is sitting inside that one).

I really like those pink Corning/Pyrex mixing bowls!  :)

That is a strange one... at first I thought maybe Cherry stoner... but I don't think so, not enough info from the picture...
Can't tell the maker either...There were some wild items back in the day.. I have an Enterprise catalog....
Spice Mills, Slaw Cutters, Graters, Coffee Mills....... fascinating.

Thinking Cheryl is right on the gem pan, I don't recall seeing another marked maker that had the stove lifter tabs in the side.  They also made a 5 cup and 11 cup in that style.
The good chefs never burn anything--we call it "culinary brown"!!

Yep, she's pretty good alright. Went and looked and it's a wagner R pan. Underneath that is a #3 griswold large block logo and a #7 Griswold Erie. The bottom skillet is a rough cast Lodge. Looked unused to me, no seasoning at all and still bare grey cast iron color with a little surface rust. I placed an absentee bid on the muffin pan, both griswolds...and a "purdy" set of pink mixing bowls. We'll see what happens.  ;)

That grinder thing you all are looking at is a Landers, Frary, and Clark vegetable slicer. I might be off with the spelling on one of the words, but thats what it is.  ;)

No kiddin...thanks Perry. I looked and looked for that thing when I was there and couldn't find it. Are they worth anything?  Still no word from them if I won anything yet... I think they're closed until monday.

I agree with Perry on the slicer. My grandmother had one very much like it. It's now in my mother's posession. I also see various types of them at some of the antique malls around here.

Hi Ken, What kind of price are you seeing on these...j/wondering if that's why it was mysteriously gone. Doesn't seem like it could be *that* valuable to me, but I could be wrong.

Hey!  You're not allowed to go to my auction place.   That's not far from me at all!   I don't make it too often,  but try to check their website.   Good to see another local collector.

Mark, those things tend to be all over the place price-wise. As I recall, some as low as $25, some over $100. Mind you, not many of them appear to be just like the one you show, but most are pretty similar. So far I've stayed away from them because I don't know anything about them and don't really want one for a user.

It would be fun to see it in action...about once.   ;) I would've bid on it, but the darn thing wasn't there.

Is that bottom skillet under the Wagner 8-cup muffin pan cracked?  Right in front.
Best Regards,
