Hello Steve,
When you see Made in USA, that is the clue that a piece is newer... meaning 1960,70's.   On Wagner, the size in inches, is also confirmation that it is after they stopped putting the C/N (catalog number) on the pieces.

I still have much to learn, but there are others here on Our Forum that could write a book, for sure! :) I am a Newbie compared to most of them!

And one of our WAGS members already has done so... that book called the Blue Book... ;)

So happy to hear you are liking our Forum!
