Haven't been here long, but, in my searching over the past few months, i have seen very little nickel coated pieces....and then, i find a nice wagner #8 with a nickel coating.
So, what percentage of pieces might have been nickel coated?
Probably a small percentage and maybe for one main reason; the plated pieces cost exactly twice that for black iron in the Griswold catalogs. I like to old nickel pieces that were first ground and polished on the outsides of the pans. Chrome holds up better than nickel but ages less gracefully so I'm a nickel kind of guy sometimes but never chrome.
Wagner did not chrome but stayed with nickel plating. Griswold did both after c.1930.
