Wagner 8/1268Y Sidney-O Nickel-Plated Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Drip Drop Lid

  
Wagner 8/1268Y Sidney-O Stylized Logo Nickel-Plated Cast Iron Dutch Oven w/ Drip Drop Roaster Lid You are viewing a beautiful piece made by Wagner Manufacturing in Sidney, Ohio. It is an early run of the stylized Sidney-O logo Dutch oven series made between 1939 and 1959 as indicated by the pattern/batch letter'Y' after the 1268 on the underside of the Dutch oven. Measures 10 inches across and 8-9 inches tall with the lid on.

This Dutch oven and matching lid are in fully restored and ready-to-use condition. It has been chemically stripped down and re-seasoned 3x with vegetable shortening e.

This skillet was originally plated in Wagner's signature'Silverlite' nickel plating, which has mostly survived to the modern day. Due to rust concerns in some spots where the nickel plating has worn/thinned with use, I have opted to season this skillet as if it were bare iron - hence the bronze hue that will darken with use. This skillet has no chips or cracks. There is an approximately 3 business-card wobble and a corresponding spin on a flat surface, however both are unnoticeable on my gas range. The interior cooking surface is in near-new condition aside from some light staining but is overall shiny and incredibly smooth for the age of the pot - ready for any cooking and baking you desire! No notable casting flaws, only some scattered chips/patches in the nickel plating which should not impact usage - nothing indicative of any issues.
