Rate my yardsale find (Wagner dutch oven)
« on: April 23, 2017, 07:56:40 PM »
Long time lurker, infrequent poster here. I found a Wagner dutch oven which bears the 1914-1922 logo. I'm not terribly experienced at verifying the authenticity of such pieces; I was wondering if anything from the pictures I've attached is a cause for concern in eyes more trained than mine. Thanks in advance for your time.

Agree with Jim... you have a lovely Wagner round roaster in great condition.  And it IS authentic.  Nice find!

Hello Will. Thats a very nice find. Congratulations.  :)

Now that we have all that out of the way. Just how much did you have to give for this nice piece. Dutch Ovens are what got me started into collecting cast iron. I mean, I had a few skillets but nothing serious.

The one you have there came in sizes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Griswold made a number 12 and 13 but Wagner stopped at the size eleven. And in other variations of Dutch Ovens Wagner made a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, and 11.

Now go out and drag something else in for us to talk about.  :)

Thank you everyone.

Slight edit on the origin of this piece. This one was a gift. I have another that I bought (I had mixed the two up in my head). Pictures to come.
