"SIDNEY" 9 with a Star

My wife bought this last weekend because it was lightweight and in good condition. Since it only says Sidney and not Wagner is this pre-Wagner? Any ideas on the date?

Best info is that pieces marked Sidney, O. or just Sidney in a script, or marked Sidney Hollow Ware Co. were made by the company whose foundry Wagner acquired to expand its production to a second line, and that pieces marked just "Sidney" in a block lettering were made by Wagner in the acquired foundry.
 
So no later than 1929 then? I haven't seen any Sidney or Wagner with a star that was what really threw me.
 
A Wagner with the star appears on pg. 11 of the RB. It would have been quite easy for the pattern for it to be modified to make this piece (or vice versa), as it only would have required changing four letters. It's actually obvious from the RB photo that the pan's pattern had been altered.
