A couple days ago I bought what looked like a very old 8 inch skillet from a thrift store. I have treated it with oven cleaner a number of times and while doing this I realized that under all of the burned-on crud was what looks like thick old paint or maybe some other material. The attached photos show the bottom of the skillet as it looked when I got it and how it looks now. I am guessing that the skillet might be a Wagner Sidney one based upon the bottom of the handle but until I get the blue "paint" off I cannot see any writing on the bottom. I am looking for any advice on what I can try to do to remove the covering. I know that the skillet will never be perfect but I would like to get down to bare metal. Hope someone can help.
