Gate mark Wagner skillet

[S.Porter]

I recently got this "Wagner" number 8 skillet with a single gate mark. From the research I have done, I think it's pre 1891 due to the gate mark but it has the curved "Wagner" logo which I have seen dates it 1891-1910. I have not had time to clean / reseason it yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It says my pictures are to large. I don't know how to resize them.

A skillet with Wagner markings and a bottom gate mark would be a recast by someone else using a Wagner pan as a pattern.

I was thinking that's what I had last night after I made the post. Thank you for the link you sent. Very informative. I'm new to the CI world and have a lot to learn. Thanks again.
