I also see a number 5. I have never seen a Wagner with a handle like this tho. You are looking for the maker, correct? I'll see what I can find. There are plenty of sites with info on all brands of cast iron. If you google antique cast iron pots, you may find something close to it if not the exact pot. This would be considered a pot more than a pan. There are also plenty of videos on you tube telling you how to get them back to their original state and then season them again.
Here is a site with a list of them;

Here's a great site where I just learned something new too, within the first few minutes!

I didn't know what the "heat ring' was exactly about before. But I do now! It's from the old wood burning and potbelly stoves, the burners had the removable plate, when you remove that, the heat ring fits in there so it doesn't move around at all and the fire then cooks the food evenly. That's what the numbers relate to, the size of the burner they fit on. How funny, I've been using cast iron pans basically all my life and did not know that!
