Vintage Unmarked #5 Wagner Cast Iron Skillet - Circa 1960's

Vintage Unmarked #5 Wagner 8" Cast Iron Skillet Circa - pre 1960's In good vintage condition. Refurbished and seasoned with two coats of flax oil. This pan has a slight wobble (1/16" on each side) and would be best on an electric element range of gas stove. The cooking surface shows marks from use. It would be a great gift, display, or daily user. Unmarked Smooth Bottom Wagner Skillets featured a descriptive size at 6 o'clock, e.g. "8 INCH SKILLET" were absent on early examples such as this. The size number 5 is incised on the top of the handle. The handle bottom comes to a flat surface where it meets the pan which is a telltale Wagner feature. The bottom of the handle features a "0" stamped on the handle. Instances in which you'll find a number incised in a piece can be most puzzling. On some smaller pans, you may see a tiny numeral on the bottom of the handle. For efficiency, small pieces would be sometimes be cast in groups simultaneously in the same sand mold. Multiple identical patterns were arranged, connected by "runners" so that a single pour of molten metal filled all the cavities in a process known as a gang mold. Just as with pattern letters, the small but unique number let quality control know if there was a problem pattern. Please review all pictures carefully as they are considered part of the description.
