I posted this in another thread but figured it deserved its own thread in Show & Tell.
I picked this up yesterday, completely caked over. Figured we could make a fun game of it and guess what's gonna show up underneath. I'm thinking either an old Wagner or maybe a 2nd series Erie. Take a shot!
Nope, those are the only two I took before I tossed it in the lye bath.
It does have a reinforced handle pad. Based on the Erie skillet article, I'd say it's the "distinct" variation. That, plus the full rib, makes me think 2nd series Erie.
Yep, I couldn't help but check it this morning before I left for work. After about 18 hours, the walls and inside were pretty clean, but the bottom is still thoroughly caked. Maybe tomorrow something will peek through to give a clue.
No worries, I am excited regardless of what it is. I am pretty new at this and no matter what it turns out to be, will easily be the oldest item in my tiny collection
It is all part of the hunt, what is hidden. Dont' feel bad, I purchased a tuff looking skillet. Could not see anything other than it was in the shape of a skillet. After 1 week in the lye, out came late 1960' Wagner Ware. The cooking surface is cast finnish. :headpop:
Progress! Still too gunked over on the bottom to see much of anything except for one severely pitted spot . Here's a side shot of the handle pad and the reinforced rim.
Is the rounded shape of the handle pad consistent with Wagner? I can't find a match on that detail in any picture. The Erie article does however state "The shape of the handle reinforcement pad is seen both semi-circular and triangular.".

Also I only have the BB go to on, haven't picked up the RB yet. Maybe there's a match or some more detail in there.
