What does the inside look like?  Doesn't have to have been affected but it would be interesting to see.

This one is my favorite.

Very cool, thanks guys for sharing those. Good to see QA was going strong back then!

Here is the inside view. Not bad until you turn it over.

Amazing.  That would be an interesting pan to own...for about 10 bucks.

Thanks Russell.  Really a lesson in how the mold is actually two separate parts.  The inside and the outside.  One can be messed up and will not affect the other.

I saw a case of poor QA on a WagnerWare skillet the other day.

They forgot to send the piece to the grinder to remove the gate mark on the side of the skillet.  It was clear where they had snapped it off, but there was still between 1/8" to 1/4" sticking out on the side.

It was a nice piece otherwise, one that I have already, so I didn't buy it.
