I always bother you guys and gals with stupid questions and I apologize. I don't want to the eBay guy that is a idiot, LOL. Anyway I know they are good skillets but not a collectible. Could someone tell me the years these 1891 skillets were made. Seems to me it would be in 1991 but I see so much other stuff about them. I have the #8 fat free skillet like new but have no idea about it's date or worth.
 
Depends on who you ask. Some will tell you 1991-1995, some as late as 1997. Wagner was gone for good in 1999, so no later than that. There is some evidence they were being produced before 1991, as there is a letter to the editor in the July 1989 CICN asking about them. See pg. 43.

(Note: The last sentence in the answer to the letter is incorrect.)
