“WAGNER” Sidney, O. No. 8 Round Griddle
The griddle is the most honest tool in the kitchen — all surface, no pretense. This one carries the early "WAGNER" mark with quotation marks, dating it to the era when the Wagner brothers ran the Sidney foundry themselves. A century later, the iron is still flat, still smooth, still ready.
