Re: Unmarked #8 CI Skillet
There is one for sale on Iron Man Auctions on Facebook. They ID it as a Wagner fatty skillet. Sorry for the earlier post, I've never seen a blank Wagner skillet before.

Re: Unmarked #8 CI Skillet
I don't believe it's an unmarked Wagner because they usually have sizes marked on the bottom. You might find out more here:

Re: Wagner griddle ?????
Are you sure it isn't a 1148 which is a Wagner long grill. A picture would help out a lot.

My latest Iron
I bought these two pieces off a site on Facebook for $20 each. The bowl shaped pan is almost as big as the skillet and has a repair. I would love to date these but I know that's out the window. ...
