I am a little confused with this skillet. It has a completely smooth bottom with no distinguishing marks whatsoever. However it seems to have the triangular reinforcement pad with the letter ‘D’ underneath. It also has the number 8 incised on the top of the handle. I read the section again on discerning unmarked pieces but maybe I am missing something. Any help?

"Unmarked" refers to the lack of a manufacturer's TM, not an absence of all markings. Wagner outside heat ring skillets were pre-1935. My assumption would be this one falls between 1924 and 1935, as 1924 is when they began putting c/ns on the bottom and moved size numbers to the handle.
Thank you. I do know that unmarked is exactly how you defined it. It’s my fault I did not make myself very clear. I was simply saying I have never seen a piece of unmarked Wagner that was completely smooth and with no numbers or letters of any kind in the bottom.

You also mentioned an outside heat ring. There is no heat ring at all on the bottom of this skillet. Were you thinking that there was?
