Michael, I have that griddle, same handle, same gate mark, same number.  I'm not sure who made it, but when I saw it I had to have it.

Hi Michael,
     I have some bottom gated skillets and griddles like that one. There were several, perhaps many different makers of very similar skillets and griddles. Very few of them were marked.
     They look almost alike at first glance, but when you get them side by side to compare, you can see some different features.

  I have one that looks the same in almost every detail to a marked Excelcior, but it is not marked. I call it an unknown along with the rest of them. The only griddles I would consider to be Excelcior would be ones that bear their mark.

Chris

few months ago, my fancy "non-stick" modern skillet that I had for 6 months and spent good money on, started to show signs of the surface wearing off. Even though using wood and silicone utensils only, this surface wear had me thinking that that I am eating Teflon which is not healthy. So I decided to go with a new cast iron skillet. I quickly bought a new 10.25 in lodge at local store.I seasoned it with crisco and now is shiny black and I have cooked many bacon and eggs in it. My fried eggs slide around in this rough surface Lodge very well and are the best tasting Ive ever had. Then while surfing the internet. i found videos of people bragging about smooth glass like surfaces on vintage skillets. So I bought this smooth and light weight Wagner. I have not done anything to it yet. It sits perfectly flat!! I am pretty sure it was made in 1930-1940, but would like to know which year exactly. Thank you anybody for any info you cant tell me.
I cant wait to see how well fried eggs slide around in this bad boy!
I just wanted to show those old griddles first.Here is what I initially wanted to post. I found this at the same flea market.
