Hi Robert.  Good to see you posting.  That skillet looks like a very old copy someone made using an original Wagner skillet to make a pattern.   That skillet has seen some miles.

Robert, I saw one just like it in an antique store in Kennesaw, GA. I thought about buying it, just for the novelty of it, but they were asking too much for it and it was the worst spinner ever (or would that be the best spinner?)
