Wagner web site

[Mike Cockerham (b)]

I was checking out their web site. They show some nice polished skillets. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything from them. I emailed them and was told that all of the cast iron was made in the Sidney plant. Can anyone confirm? I am a photographer and was trying to get in to shoot some pics, but was told it was closed up and being moved.
Thanks
Mike

Ya,  probably Sidney China. ;D   They will never pour iron again in Sidney Ohio.   EPA will keep that from happening. :'(

The iron cookware that was left in the Wagner foundry when it closed in 1999 was being "reconditioned" and finished and boxed when we toured the plant about 3 years ago.  I've heard there is nothing left there now (in the foundry).  I, too, wonder what the state of the company is currently as I am unaware of any new product available in stores.

Might this be one of the items you are talking about?

The problem is they do show the bottom to verify the markings

Regular skillet. The email I received said specificly that the cast iron was made in Sidney, Ohio.

I recall most of the iron cookware in the Wagner foundry that was reconditioned was of the 1891 Original variety with a smattering of newer 'oval logo" pieces made c.1997-99.
