Ugly skillet...age?
« on: March 20, 2017, 10:10:42 AM »
[size=12]Picked this one up from the same booth/dealer as the 'ghost marked' Wagner cornbread pan, and think I paid around $11 for it.
I wanted to get it so I could post pics, just to ask for help in ID'ing! (The handle isn't quite as long as the photo makes it appear; just the angle of the photo)

It is heavy and seems to be of poor quality. Small ears, uneven sides, notable grinding marks on the edges, marked only on the base near the handle with what appears to be an "07" and strikes me as probably foreign-made and recent.

Is this correct....?[/size]

[size=12]Thanks, Duke!

That is what I was thinking, but in the terrible lighting of the store I was in I thought I saw some very faint script/cursive writing on the base....only reason I was willing to pay to bring it home.
As it turns out, it was just swirls in the casting, lol[/size]
