Vintage Wagner Ware cast iron Dutch oven. Classic 5-quart piece (a size #8, model 1268) showcases the distinctively smooth casting profile and ergonomic curved handle on the domed lid that made Wagner Manufacturing Company (unmarked) in 1920s to 1930s.
Round pot featuring side spouts or pour lips, a domed matching lid with a loop handle, and an aged, seasoned dark metal finish.
The Lid Interior: The three prominent concentric self-basting rings are a classic hallmark of Wagner Ware. As steam builds up during cooking, these ridges evenly redirect condensation back down across the food.
The Number 8: This signifies a traditional 5-quart size (roughly a 10.5-inch diameter).
The Inset Meat Rack: The perforated tray sitting inside the pot is a separate insert, commonly used to elevate roasts or bake bread above the direct heat of the bottom surface.
The surfaces have all been cleaned per Google instructions to get all build-up off plus used vinegar and water then baked in oven with oil, but it still needs seasoned and more care.
