Wagner Ware cast iron skillet, number 8, 10 inch
A vintage Wagner Ware number 8 skillet, about ten inches across, the size most people actually cook with. Clean, flat examples with clear markings sell quickly to cast iron users; warped or heavily rusted ones drop to the bottom of the range.
Estimated resale range (used)
$40 – $90
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.
What matters when you check it
- Set it on a flat countertop and press the edges; a skillet that rocks is warped and worth much less.
- Check the cooking surface for rust and pitting — light surface rust cleans up, deep pits do not.
- Read the markings on the base; 'Wagner Ware Sidney -O-' with the size number confirms what you have.
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
