Can you tell me something about my old sklliet?
« on: March 03, 2014, 06:27:05 PM »
I've got this old 7" cast iron sklliet that was my grandmothers, and may have been her mothers? Of the ones I've looked at online this one has no markings of Erie Pa. or such. It only has the center badge of Wagner, 7" size and a "B" at the bottom. Wondering if someone could identify, and how old it is? Maybe worth anything?

Hello Doug. Welcome to WAGS. Thats the Griswold Logo there in the middle and not the Wagner Logo. That skillet was made by Wagner after Wagner took control of Griswold. Your skillet was most likely made in the 1960's and maybe even the 1970's. The 60's or so is when Wagner started putting the size in inches on the skillet. As far as value, if it belonged to your grandmother or even your great grandmother of course it would have a lot of sentimental value, but as far as monetary value, I'd say around fifteen dollars. Hope that helps.  :)

Perry is right on with everything,  but.  A year ago....Perry's price was right on.   But today iron prices are going nuts.   Value I would put about $30-40   But being from your family. .....priceless.  Use it.   You can't hurt it.
