Another mid 1800's pan found at a flea market. Could not see any name on it there was so much crud. I knew there was a heat ring though, Paid a couple of bucks. Turns out to be an old Wagner #8, the gate marks on the bottom, date it as one of the first pieces Wagner made, Same with the "WAGNER" This pot is super thin.........I sold it, lol.

@Willie thanks for the rundown, and the great yard sale story haha... I know what I'm gonna be looking for when the yard sales start up again now

This may be a long shot but any chance you could ID this one? No name on it and it I've always wondered... it's the one from my father in law and my favorite

Here's a shot of the whole crew (and a Shepards pie)

Shepard pie is looking fine.

My guess.......
There is a spine on the underside of the handle on that pan, looks like it goes right to the wall of the pan without being clipped. Also the pan has an unbroken heat ring that is inset.
Leaning toward a BSR pan right now. Birmingham Stove & Range
50's to 60's, probably marked as Red Mountain or Century with a paper label

I'm working on my potato game, so tonight we have fried potatoes, smoked sausage and onions with blackened creole seasoning...(about 40 min on the range)

Then it's a healthy portion of extra sharp cheddar on top
15 minutes in the oven @ 350f and we have ourselves dinner

New addition to the collection courtesy of my better half... made some sausage and egg sandwiches while we were snowed in today

If any of you have or come across old cast iron skillets, I'd be happy to make it worth your while to take it off of your hands... ☺️
