Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 9 Cast Iron Skillet

The Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 9 is an uncommonly encountered size — sandwiched between the ubiquitous No. 8 and the more readily found No. 10, it falls into a gap that most collectors working the open market encounter as a genuine search rather than a casual find. This example, catalog number 1059 D, carries the stylized Wagner Ware Sidney -O- logo at 12 o'clock, the heat ring of the c. 1924–1935 production era, and the fourth pattern designation in the No. 9 mold sequence. It was acquired in electrolytically stripped condition — markings fully legible, iron sound, base flat — and enters the SSC collection as the heat-ring representative of the No. 9 in the complete Wagner Ware Sidney -O- skillet set.
