Ages of Two Wagner Ware Pieces?

Picked these two pieces up recently. I'm hoping they aren't recasts? Was thinking the 1058 is in the range of 1935-1959? No clue about the griddle though. The lettering of the word "skillet" seems odd.

Thoughts?

 
Recasts are rarely if ever seen of pieces made after the 1920s, and if so would typically be something in aluminum likely made by somebody just trying their hand at sand mold casting. The #8 is dated 1935-1959, probably later in that time frame by the size and font of the catalog number; the skillet griddle sometime after the mid-1960s, after Wagner's acquisition and the moving (or expansion) of production from Sidney to Cincinnati.
 
Thanks Doug! Worth the effort to restore & use? I'm interested in trying out the griddle for some pancakes especially. 🥞
