Vintage Wagner 6.5 Inch Cast Iron Skillet 1891

Vintage Wagner cast iron cookware is prized by collectors and home cooks for its durability and heat retention. Buyers should compare condition (used vs. new), capacity (5–6 quart), and whether a lid is included. Rare patterns and early 1891 pieces command higher prices. For everyday cooking, this 5 Qt model with bail handle and lid offers solid value. Collectors may prefer the rare Z1 #6 Dutch oven for its scarcity. If you want new-old-stock, the sealed-box Wagner 1268 with Pyrex lid is a practical choice. Always check for cracks, rust, and lid fit before purchasing.
