has anyone ever seen a Wagner pan like this?
« on: March 05, 2020, 05:39:43 PM »
Picked this up today. I think it is aluminum and I can’t tell what material the handle is. I’ve looked all around and haven’t found another one. Does anyone know anything about this? The bottom says Wagner ware Sidney -0- at the bottom it says 1862 and 4 qts. Any ideas on best way to clean? Thanks

Makes me think of the cold handle skillets.

This is a Cast Aluminum 'Heavy Duty' Aluminum Saute Pan with Long Handle which was part of Wagner's Hotel Ware Line.

The Handle is Tinned, Malleable Iron Long Handle. 

That one is going to be a real challenge to restore.   :-? :-?

Best to look on Ebay for values, as the current market is hard to make up values on, as it is up and down constantly.  Pieces like this are usually not usual to find, as it had a specific cliental for its use.  First one that I have seen, so putting a value on it is tough if not impossible.  Also Aluminum is not as collectible to many as black cast iron.  I would have bought it if it was under $50, as it is unique.
