Unmarked Wagner Montgomery Wards?

Need some help on this unmarked pan. Based on the red book, the only Wagner I could find with this handle style and OHR was the Montgomery Wards pan made in the 30's. Did they make an unmarked Wards pan, and does this look like one? thx

I can't see the bottom very well on my computer. Why do you think Montgomery Ward? It has no writing on the bottom, it's probably just an unmarked Wagner.
 
Unmarked pieces were designed to be able to be labeled for the various market channels or distributors. It's possible MW sold CI that way, but since there are goods made by Wagner, marked MW, and with unique catalog numbers, it's not likely. That the handle looks like the MW pan in the book, IMO, is just happenstance.
 
When Wagner started using catalog numbers, the size numbers moved from the skillet bottom to the top of the handle, so 1924 to early 30s best guess.
