Unmarked #8 + 3 Dots??

[JaredT]

Hey all, I picked up and restored what I thought could be a scratch off unmarked Wagner #8. After stripping everything in the lye bath, I could not find any other markings on the bottom except 3 small dots on the bottom of the handle. Any ideas what this could be? THank you!

If you notice, all the unmarked smooth bottom Wagners with the descriptive markings like "8 INCH SKILLET" have the "late" style handles. This one has an early handle. I'd call it unmarked Wagner until definitively proven otherwise. Any ghost mark of a stylized logo? I do have a smooth bottom #3 with one.

Thank you Doug for the reply. No marks at all on the bottom. Wife and I both scoured for anything resembling a mark and nothing. What time frame would these unmarked Wagners with old handles come from?

My assumption would be that since any smooth bottom, early-handled marked Wagner, with the stylized WWSO logo and the c/n, is considered to be 1935-1959, it would have to be somewhere in that range.
