“WAGNER” Sidney, O. No. 9 Nickel-Plated Skillet
The quotation marks around "WAGNER" tell you this is early Sidney iron — before the stylized logo, before the Randall sale, from the era when the Wagner brothers ran the foundry themselves. The warm golden-silver nickel patina tells you every owner for a century knew to leave it alone.
Wagner No. 0 Skillet — Arc Logo
The oldest Wagner in the SSC collection — a No. 0 skillet carrying the arc logo, Wagner Manufacturing's earliest trademark from the 1890s–1900s. This second No. 0 marking variant documents Wagner's foundational era alongside the stylized logo specimen from the complete Sidney-O set.
Wagner Cast Iron Bean PotStove Ring Kettle — Size 8
A Wagner No. 8 cast iron bean pot from the early arc mark period — before WAGNER WARE, before Sidney-O, before catalog numbers. The arc WAGNER mark with decorative flourishes, three cast leg feet, original wire bail handle, and the stove ring flange that locked it into a wood or coal stove eye for the long slow cook that fed American families in the foundry's earliest years. The oldest Wagner mark configuration in the SSC collection.
