My three favorite Wagner's...
The oven and #5 were from my Mom's mother and have been used weekly since the late 30's. The other #8 Wagner belonged to my father's mother(born in 1900)and was a wedding present when she was 20.

And some Wagner Turks Head muffin and corn stick pans. I prefer skillet cornbread but cook some in these for old times sake for the kids on occasion.
ETA: To add to HS's post above...
I remember as an older child, at a large family gathering at the gin one Sunday afternoon, my grandmother(the epitome of a sweet, proper, Southern woman)stopping my great aunt/her sister on the way in with a basket of cornbread. She said "Thelma, if that basket is full of sweet cornbread, tell Billy to put it back in the truck......y'all can enjoy that back at your house". My Uncle Billy muttered the entire way back to the truck "I told you...but no, don't listen to me"
My grandmother looked at my cousins and I and I, as we were the only ones around, purses her lips, shook her head, and said "She knows better than that...."
I still laugh thinking about that day....
