    The one marked 3B on the bottom is your oldest one, "circa 1924" and has some value around $100.00, if I'm reading my book correctly. The 1053H is the newer/heavier one, they were made up through the 60's checking in about $25 to $35. Both very nice pans!

    Whats the cooking surface look like? Small letter #8 1939 to 1944 say's $15 to $25. It's a buy at $25 if the cooking surface is in nice shape. :cool:

    Well, If it's worth it to "you" thats all that matters! :) I would'nt pay that for it, Maybe $30 would be my max. Offer them a lower price and go from there. If you exceed $40, to me thats just a little expensive. But again, it's solely your want and worth. :cool:

    Nice pan. Same here. I'd be at $25 for that one, $30 tops. If it sits for a week or so, make an offer. Ridiculous how popularity drives the prices up.

    Can't wait until the antique market opens again in the spring.

    I didn't.
    It's at an antique mall. There's no one there to make an offer to.
    And I'm a little short on money right now :emb:
    We're gearing up for a snowmobile trip to northern Maine also

    A little bump.


    Pan fried chicken in olive oil with minced garlic, mushrooms and pancetta. Added Alfredo sauce and cooked penne. This was cooked in the #8 Wagner. This pan is great. It is so responsive to heat changes on the gas stove.

    No new pans lately. I'll be on the prowl when spring hits.

    Sounds absolutely delicious! But their's just one problem with that dish, I am lactose intolerant so the Alfredo sauce is a big no no for me! If you know what I mean!:fart::fart::fart::fart:

    Just take a Lactaid pill before you eat any dairy. Works wonders.

    Never tried it. I never think to pick anything like that up. I'll have to keep that in mind!:thumbs:
