Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 13 Cast Iron Skillet
The Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 13 is one of the two scarcest sizes in the standard Wagner skillet line. At 14¼ inches across the top rim and 12¾ inches at the cooking floor, it sits just below the No. 14 in the size progression and shares its rarity, its heat ring, and its commercial character. Never produced in smooth-bottom form, never intended for the household stove, the No. 13 was built for boarding houses, farm kitchens, and camp cookhouses — anywhere a cook worked at volume. This example, catalog no. 1063, is in exceptional restored condition with deep even seasoning, fully legible markings, and both handles intact. It occupies the penultimate position in the Steve's Seasoned Classics complete Wagner Ware Sidney -O- skillet set, No. 0 through No. 14.
Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 14 Cast Iron Skillet
At 15¼ inches across the top rim and 13½ inches at the cooking floor, the Wagner Ware Sidney -O- No. 14 is the largest standard skillet the Wagner Manufacturing Company of Sidney, Ohio ever produced — and one of the rarest. Built not for the household stove but for the boarding house, the logging camp cookhouse, and the farm kitchen feeding a harvest crew, the No. 14 represents the outer limit of what Wagner cast in its 108 years of Sidney production. This example, catalog no. 1064, carries the stylized Wagner Ware Sidney -O- logo, a heat ring correct and expected for this size, and the size mark '14' incised on the handle top — all confirming pre-1959 collector-era manufacture. It anchors the Steve's Seasoned Classics complete Wagner Ware Sidney -O- skillet set, No. 0 through No. 14.
