Unmarked No 3 with heat ring, Wagner or Volrath

[Valerie Johnson]

Picked up this nice little no. 3 cast iron 6" skillet, I originally thought unmarked Wagner but now I am leaning Vollrath, Any opinions
The reason I am leaning Vollrath is the underside of the handle and the reinforced rib around the rim

Vollrath generally has the size centered with a line under it with the handle pointed to 6 o'clock. I have a #3 Vollrath as well as a #5, and that is how they are marked on the bottom.  The size is marked on the top of the handle as well.  Otherwise, they are almost identical to your #3, with the rib where the handle meets the body of the skillet, and the oversized rim. Even with the photo magnified to 250X, I did not see any such markings.  In my limited experience, I have not heard of nor seen an unmarked Vollrath, but I am sure the more knowledgeable members can provide better information.  My #5 "WAGNER" SYDNEY O is almost identical, with a slightly smaller rib, but no oversized rim.  (All three have a heat ring.)  Either way, it sure is purty.

It is an Unmarked Vollrath.

Quite a few out there floating around that I have seen .

Thanks lee and Cheryl, I was pretty sure it was a Vollrath, I remember a conversation here a while back but I couldn't find it

[Will Person]

Yep, a Vollrath

[Lee Bowen]

Thank you, Cheryl and Will. I knew that someone would have the correct answer.  The massive amount of what I do not know is offset by your years of collecting and research.  Again, thank you!!.

I vote Vollrath. Might be my imagination but, looking at the underside of the pour spouts Vollraths seem to be the slightest bit pointed. JMO
