Wagner History and Product Line
After purchasing Griswold cast iron in the 1940's, the Wagner brand was then purchased by GHC Housewares in the 50's. Wagner's most popular skillets are both smooth bottom and heat ring versions. The logo of Wagner cast iron began as a very basic "Wagner" logo and developed into the popular WagnerWare stylized logo. The older heat ring skillets have slightly thinner walls, which are lighter because of the width. The smooth bottom skillets tend to be a little thicker which gives them more sturdiness in daily use. They are amazing collector/daily cookers.
The product line from Wagner became very extensive after about the 1920's until they closed their doors. They made skillets in sizes 2 through 20, dutch oven sizes from 6 through 12, and waffle irons in sizes 8 and 9. The bakeware collection was extensive, forming molds for french bread, vienna loaves, cornbread, golfball brownies, bundt molds, corn pone pans, and so much more. There are approximately 30 gem pan styles to collect. Some are easy to find, others are far more difficult. You can link to some of our Wagner offerings below!
