Vintage Wagner Ware Sidney -O- 1401-C nickel-plated cast iron double skillet. The 1401-C was designed as the upper skillet/lid component of Wagner's double-skillet combination cooker, while also functioning independently as a skillet.
This example retains much of its original nickel-plated exterior and has been freshly restored and seasoned. The cooking surface cleaned up very nicely and remains smooth with light evidence of previous use. The nickel plating shows age-related wear and areas of loss/chipping, primarily along the rim, edges, handle and other high points, exposing the cast iron beneath.
When used independently as a skillet, a slight spin was noted when tested on our folding work table; flatness on a glass cooktop has not been verified. This does not affect its intended function as the upper/lid component of the Wagner double-skillet system.

This listing is for the 1401-C skillet/top component only; the matching lower half is not included.
A handsome piece of vintage Wagner Ware and a nice opportunity for a collector seeking the 1401-C component to complete a double-skillet set.
Please review all photographs closely for plating wear, surface condition, markings and other signs of age and use.
