So I'm a newbie around here, trying my hand at restoring a couple pans I bought with the intention of using.
Good news is, in cleaning it and researching, I discovered the Wagner is apparently fairly scarce logo variety with double arched Wager-Sidney....?
I was excited about this until I discovered the bad news: a very very very tiny hairline crack near the handle, apparently common? Not too surprising since the walls of this are remarkably thin.
Anyway, its imperceptible now with a seasoning coat, and I plan to use it; though I confess since I'm not a "collector" I was playing with the idea of trying to trade it for a couple less collectable, but still high quality cooking models until I saw the crack and realized it killed collectablity. Oh well. Looking forward to trying it out!!
Here's before and after.
