Wagner Ware — Miniature Cast Iron Skillet No. 1050
The Wagner Manufacturing Company of Sidney, Ohio produced this 3½-inch miniature skillet — catalog number 1050, pattern letter D — as a novelty item, advertising premium, and salesman's sample. Every feature of a full-size Wagner skillet is present in miniature: the oval logo, the pour spouts, the teardrop hanging hole, and the smooth cooking surface. The stylized W logo dates this piece to approximately the 1950s–1960s. Acquired from eBay seller floodgatesofheaven, August 2025.

Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 7 Cast Iron Saucepan
The Archival Black protocol isn't "never touch." It's "know when to touch and when not to." This Wagner Ware No. 7 saucepan was restored by SSC because restoration served the piece — the same philosophy that keeps the 1863 Shinnick kettle untouched.
Wagner Ware No. 3 Skillet — Pie Logo, Nickel Plated
Wagner's most collected trademark on its most premium finish — a No. 3 pie logo skillet with nickel plating from Sidney, Ohio. The first pie logo and first nickel-plated specimen in the SSC collection, representing the summit of Wagner Manufacturing's production art.
Wagner Ware No. 0 Skillet — Stylized Logo
The third Wagner No. 0 variant in the SSC collection — a stylized logo smooth-bottom specimen from Wagner's golden age. Together with the arc logo No. 0 and the complete Sidney-O set specimen, SSC now documents the No. 0 skillet across four decades of Wagner production.
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 Ware No. 8 Round Roaster
Four United States patents. Five years of engineering. All of it cast into the iron of a single lid. The Wagner Ware No. 8 Round Roaster with Drip Drop Baster lid is one of the most precisely dateable artifacts in the SSC collection — a complete, pre-catalog-number piece from the narrow 1922–1924 window that documents Wagner's most important technological innovation in its original, fully evolved form.
