If I have researched this correctly according to the RB I have a Wagner arc manufactured between 1895 and 1915. It is worn but still sits flat. The RB does not show the top of the skillet. Mine has a circular mark on the top of the handle, possibly a molders mark. If you look very close there is another circular mark where the handle opening comes to a V, have to tilt the skillet just so to be able to see it. Probably cannot see it in the photo.

Wagner arc

An indentation would not be a molder's mark, which would be raised, since it would have been created by making an indentation in the sand mold. It would have to be in the pattern, and may indicate an alteration was made to it, either intentionally or by accidental damage to it. Any evidence of ghost marks behind the WAGNER?
No visible ghost marks. I also did the tombstone rub, nothing found. Cooked a bacon and egg breakfast in it this morning without a problem. Handle is not bent or cracked, no damage detected using a 10X magnifier.
There is an identical skillet (other than handle) for sale on eBay it has a very rough handle, lots of mini holes in it.
