Did Wagner Ware make a nickel-plated oval Dutch oven and if so what year were they made?

Yes, Wagner Ware produced a nickel-plated oval Dutch oven, specifically known as the "Wagner Ware Magnalite" line. These were made primarily in the mid-20th century, with production starting in the 1950s. The nickel plating was intended to provide a non-reactive cooking surface and a distinctive appearance. However, the nickel-plated versions are less common than their cast iron counterparts.
