Bret, I generally don't condone a father turning his son into an addict, but in your case he did you a solid favor.  He must be very proud.

Lmbo. Yeah I think he enjoys it. I bought him the blue and yellow book and he's been nonstop since.
Calls me every five minutes to look one up on ebay.

Our problem is getting to be finding it anywhere close to us for a reasonable price. $30 skillets are now priced for 60-80$ lol. He's kept them bought out so guess they're getting greedy now

Well been collecting the last two weeks here and there while I'm free at work. Get to go home for my week off tomorrow and get these bad boys out of my travel trailer and into my home so I can lay em all out and they have room to breath. Haha it's sad that's not even all of them. Just the ones I cleaned.

Lol thanks. Was there a time frame on them. ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but made in USA was added around 1959 and later for exporting purposes correct ?

How did your wagner #10 griddle come out? I just found one in the wild and am in the process of cleaning it. Mine is a little rough on the bottom, but I have seen worse. So far it is cleaning up nicely.
