Hello Janice, its a klunker. It was made after 1960 or around that time. Its good to cook in but as far as collectibility goes its zilch for now. The quality of Wagner went down when they started making these skillets with the size in inches and all. In my opinion, I think Wagner started putting Made In The USA on their pieces because other countries were rapidly developing and were starting to get in full gear after rebuilding from the devastation of WW 2. During the 50's US production was in its heyday because other countries were in no position to compete because of the war had destroyed totally or set back their production capabilites. So, Wagner wanted to show that it was Made In The USA to set itself apart from those countries who were not able to say Made In The USA, and Wagner wanted to ride the coattails of Americanism which was so prevalant after WW 2. I mean after all, we truly saved the world. Those are my thoughts. I'll bet you didn't expect an answer like that did you. And how about telling Julie Gadgets I said hey?
