Smaller one is a Griswold No. 8, marked 704H.
Larger one is a Wagner Ware 11 ^3^/~4~ Inch Skillet, with a "10" on the handle.
I managed to get them for $50 total. I can't find exact matches online, but I think this is a good deal for these two. Is it?
Call it $25 each, you got a good deal. Put a bit of elbow grease in (esp on the Wagner), and use them.
That's the plan! But it's still nice to know if these are the find I thought they were even if I don't plan on reselling them any time in the near future.
Without doing a deep dive into research, I'd say retail on the Griswold (that's an 8"? Perfect for camping) is probably US$35-$40, the Wagner would be US$75-$100 after some light restoration. So at least "doubled your money," and a bit more. But you'll get way more value out of them with the cooking.
Edit: I just saw someone else mentioning the thinness of the Griswold, perhaps not perfect for camping. You'll want to control the heat pretty closely on that to avoid warping.
