Been cleaning aluminum for about a week now and decided to try and restore an aluminum tea pot that I've had for several months.
I know that Wagner made cast iron pieces for Wards Department Stores and I think aluminum pieces also. This piece has the traditional markings that one would see on cast iron but this piece simply says "Wards Best Quality Aluminum".
Guess my question is did Wagner make this piece or did Wards contract out to different makers? Other question is would the time frame be around the early 30's? Pic attached of the bottom.
