Cast Iron Skillets make excellent gifts and can be passed down from generation to generation. The memories created will last forever just as the skillet will with proper care. Produced 1930s and later by Wagner for Montgomery Ward. Other than trademarks and catalog numbers, apparently identical to Wagner-marked pieces. Store brand pieces enjoy collectible status and are typically among the best of user pieces. In addition to trademarked and unmarked ware, several manufacturers produced store brands. Like unmarked ware, store brands allowed increased sales in markets like chain department stores, where a quality product was demanded at a reasonable price, but which still satisfied the retailer's target profit margin. Store branding also gave the retailer the ability to associate, in its customers' minds, quality goods with the seller itself. The most well-known store brands were produced for Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Montgomery Ward. Overall Dimensions: Length: 16-1/8" Spout to Spout Diameter: 12" Pan Bottom Diameter: 9-7/8"
