Wagner Ware 1050 Cast Iron Mini Skillet and 11 similar items

This petite cast iron skillet by Wagner Ware is a classic example of mid-century novelty cookware. Marked ?1050? on the base, it was originally produced as a miniature ashtray or promotional sample. Measuring approximately 6 1/8 inches long and 4 3/4 inches wide from spout to spout, it features dual pour spouts and a traditional skillet form in scaled-down proportions. Crafted with the same attention to detail as Wagner?s full-size pans. Whether displayed as a collectible, used as a spoon rest, or repurposed as rustic decor, it?s a charming nod to vintage Americana. Condition: Shows light surface rust consistent with age and storage, but retains solid structure and clear markings. A lovely candidate for restoration or display as-is with its authentic patina.
