None of mine have milling marks,some are well over 100 yrs old,they were sanded with rotory sanders and slurrys when orig. made
Over many yrs of use they become smooth as glass,all great stuff.

The newest finds. Two unmarked Wagners and a Miami

Next on the list is to find my first Erie, Sydney and National

Went out on the hunt today but didn't find what I wanted. Did find an Erie but it was a #8 and I have more of my share of #8's. The National had heavy pitting on the back side but the cooking surface was good, another #8 DARN IT.

So I got a square BSR skillet and a Best Made #9 (Griswold made for Sears) Pics when they are cleaned up.

New finds, a #5 iron mountain and a#9 nickel Wagner

nickel???????????????

Yes, there were nickel plated and some were chrome. This one looks to be of the nickel variety. The cooking surface will be non-plated
