Possible Lead Positive Test

[RichW]

Fellow collectors,

I’m in need of your help my wife picked up a Wagner Ware #3 and something looked off to me. I was concerned about the color of the cooking surface so I got a lead test kit and I’m thinking I got a positive test for lead but maybe I’m wrong. It’s been washed and tried prior to testing What does everyone think?

For your comparison. I know this skillet was used to melt lead weights in the 1980s.

Made flower pot holder out of a Dutch oven that looked that way. 5 drain holes keep from flooding the plant.
