Unknown pile of iron - worth going for?
« on: December 10, 2013, 11:56:48 AM »
I am getting much better at IDing thanks to everyone here.  I can ID GREAT if I see the bottom of the pan.  However, I don't know how any of you can ID from seeing just the top.  I am not looking for actual IDs, just if there's anything that stands out to anyone that this is worth going to look at.  Thank you!!!

Nothing jumps to me.  $5 a pan in that shape.

Will is correct as always I see a fat free fryer Wagner and a Benjamin Medwin skillet a bunch of #3s and no deep skillets or lids... tread lightly!

I agree with the others but 2nd pan back on the right is a griswold.

Thank you for all of your help.  Can you guys ID this way from experience mostly?  What do you look for?

On another note, my largest skillet right now is a 10 and it is an unmarked Wagner.  I would like to get some larger sizes and of course replace my 10 with a marked something.  I also only have one deep skillet.  I'm always looking for pieces that I don't have.  I did ask this guy for some more info on the pieces, we'll see what he says.
