For those not aware, Wagner as a brand continues to survive today and you can actually purchase new Wagner cast iron direct from the manufacturer through American Culinary. Sadly, many pieces are now stamped "Made in China" and are not nearly as high quality as the vintage pieces.
Wagner quality started suffering around the '60s when they came out with the dual Wagner/Griswold logo items, but anything before that is fantastic!
The sad thing is that when all the brands started putting "Made in the USA" on their items in the '60s, this was the start of the decline in quality.
I love my Wagner items. My son does too.. I'm thinking about giving him my set as a wedding present, so I'll have to start looking at another line to collect.. Ether Griswold EPU, or the older Wagners with the heat rings. My son is 13 now, so I have a few years to collect.
