Could I please get some information on this skillet, who manufactured it what year was manufactured, why it has the word Wagner on the handle? Thanks

Can you post complete photos of the top and the bottom of the item. We need to see all markings on it.
Thanks.

I've got a number 6 like that.   Looks to have been made late in their run.   I've seen a few other 8's over the years.

Thanks James!

Yup, the inch markings give the needed information!

Definitely post 1963 or so... I agree with Roger that is probably later than that circa late 1970's forward...GHC era IMO.

The post 1960's have not been considered "collectibles" up until now... so I am collecting original paper from the 1960's forward to piece it together. :)

Sooner or later, some will surface with original labels... we will be watching... :)
