Toastmaster Model 2D2 Waffle IronNear commercial quality, this automatic chrome-plated waffle iron was made in America from 1939 to 1959, and during these years of production, the suits realized that making them a touch less durable meant more future sales, and more profits, And, if we didn't want 'em cheap, Walmart would not exist.This model produces a medium thick 6.75" diameter waffle. The easy-to-read internally illuminated temperature control knob is on the front. It has brown Bakelite fittings and a permanently attached attractive six foot milk chocolate brown cord. The classic Toastmaster triple loop logo is inscribed in the lid. Because it measures only eleven inches across, it is the smallest, most compact waffle iron that we sell. If you are looking for goods made in America or a waffle iron without Teflon or other sort of non-stick coating, choose this model. Patrick in Ohio bought this waffle iron and wrote to say "I have been using the Toastmaster every weekend since I received it! The waffles turn out perfectly every time and I really enjoy using this classic appliance. Thank you!"

Sunbeam 1945 to 1955Sunbeam was one of the first companies to introduce a jumbo-sized automatic waffle iron when they brought out their Model W-1 in 1940. Just after World War II the Design Department restyled the temperature indicator to make it easier to see.The result was the Model W-2 shown here, made from 1945 to 1955, with heavy duty heating elements of near-commercial quality. It makes giant waffles of 80 square inches faster than they can be consumed. (A normal sized waffle is only 37 square inches). A clever grid design makes it impossible to overfill this iron and the easy-to-see indicator light takes the guesswork out of knowing when the waffle is done. The outside dimensions are 12 inches square. Because of its design, this model nearly always has scuffing to the case, even when in excellent condition. If you want a waffle iron in close to perfect cosmetic condition, please choose the Sunbeam CG or the Toastmaster 2D2. The Hansons in Minnesota bought this waffle iron and wrote to say "YEA! we had perfect excellent waffles with hand picked blueberries (on the top, of course!) and local maple syrup this morning! Someone got his Christmas present a little early......I will be singing your praises to anyone who wants a perfect waffle! Thank you sooo much! Nancy"

Sunbeam CG Waffle IronIn the mid 1950s, Sunbeam restyled the popular Model W-2 waffle iron and created the sleek, modern looking Model CG. The new model retained the high quality construction of its predecessor but also featured removable cooking grids for waffles and a set of accessory grilling plates as an option. The new CG model soon became one of the best selling combination units of that period. It opens completely for two griddle surfaces with capacity for eight picture perfect flapjacks, enough for a large family or a single American champion swimmer with LOTS of gold medals. The CG model has near commercial quality components including a sensitive, accurate temperature controller and heavy duty 1250 watt heating elements that can cook acres of waffles in minutes. An easy to see illuminated control dial takes all of the guesswork out of the baking process and frees the cook from squinting at a tiny indicator window. The outside dimension are 12.5 inches square. It weighs in at an impressive 11 pounds. Each nine inch square waffle easily breaks into quarters -- the perfect size for storing and freezing, and for quick re-heating in a toaster. This appliance is completely reconditioned low mileage example of a solidly designed appliance and has been re-calibrated and tested to factory specifications. It comes with complete instructions, lots of waffle recipes, and our own tips for making delicious waffles successfully. The accessory grilling plates are $55 with a CG and $65 if sold separately, and when available. Ask about the Sunbeam CG that we have in Mint Condition -- it's never made a waffle and is in perfect cosmetic condition as well as fully up to original specification. Mike in Quebec bought this waffle iron and wrote to say "The waffle iron is fantastic. It has worked flawlessly. Saturday mornings are waffle mornings and my two little kids - and my wife and I - love the waffles. My two year old's limited vocabulary enthusiastically includes "wabbles"! We've hosted some brunches and our guests have been thrilled too. Once up to speed, it really kicks the waffles out at a great rate."

Edison Waffle IronThis non-automatic model was first introduced in the mid-1920s as a medium priced model with a nickel finish. It is distinguished by a prominent lid handle in black ebonized wood, and matching side handles. Rather than round, the lid and base are shaped by sixteen sides, with beautiful pierced work in the pedestal.Equipped with the very heavy-duty patented Calrod heating elements, this machine bakes a full-size waffle 7" in diameter. Today, it would be classified as a commercial grade appliance. We have replaced the original factory wiring, installed modern high-temperature wire to assure you years of trouble free service. Edison Electric Appliance Company was based in Ontario, California where its founder, Earl Richardson, had worked for the Ontario California Power Company as a salesman. He invented an electric iron which proved to have a market, then quit the power company and started his own company making irons. In 1914 he registered the trademark "Hotpoint", licensed Edison's name, and became the Edison Electric Appliance company. It later merged with part of General Electric, and eventually became a division of General electric. This one is in very good condition, and comes with its original switched cord set with Hotpoint signature. This particular plug is quite scarce and even though it has been repaired, it can be used. For frequent use, we suggest that you ask us to substitute a more durable new replacement cord covered in black neoprene.

Landers Automatic waffle iron with red signal lightIn the late 1920s the average American family, if it had a car at all, owned and bounced around in a Model T Ford. If they had any electric appliance in the kitchen it was most likely a simple toaster. A fully automatic electric waffle iron was a marvelous luxury for the very well off and at the time was considered cutting edge technology.

"Twin-O-Matic" waffle iron by Manning-Bowman & Co.Double your FunHere's a stunning design from sixty-odd years ago that looks like sculpture -- just to make two waffles! Industrial designer Karl Ratliff created this marvelous hunk of bakelite and chrome in time to be introduced at the 1939 New York World's Fair and Manning-Bowman & Company manufactured this type of rotating waffle iron for at least a dozen years. The sweeping support arms are mounted on an eleven inch diameter base. Resting in its cradle, the waffle grids rotate from one side to the other to produce two 6 1/2 inch full size Belgian style waffles. It has a thermostatic temperature control with a dial type temperature indicator. It comes with a detachable cord set, instructions for curing and some excellent recipes. This appliance is certainly a trophy for anyone's kitchen and a decorator's dream. "Twin-O-Matic"

General Electric *Best Value*General Electric produced this stylish high quality, non-automatic waffle iron that is so well engineered that it self regulates -- as long as it's kept full of batter it will not overheat. With "textolite" handles and absence of a thermostat, it will turn out an endless stream of waffles 6 1/2" across, slightly thicker than average.This model was sold from the late 1930s until the late 1940s, so there is no non-stick coating such as Teflon, which can be toxic and dangerous to pet parakeets, parrots, budgies and other birds. And, this model is a good choice for those looking for an appliance not made in China. This one has been fully refurbished and completely reconditioned, with slight scuffing on the lid, and chocolate brown bakelite handles. You won't find a more attractive, better value in any appliance on the market today! And, it comes with a copy of the booklet "52 Recipes" that came with the waffle iron when it was sold new. Lynn in California wrote to say "The Waffle Iron was the best b'day present ever!!! Very successful... He was absolutely delighted and amazed that I went thru the effort of finding one made in USA (or not made in China)....Eric has made some really delicious waffles!!! Thanks so much for all your help!"

General Electric "Diana"In 1939 industrial designer August Propernick created what turned out to be one of the great Art Deco appliances made in America. This model was so popular that it remained in production for over 12 years as a very popular and flashy wedding gift. (Ask about the one we have that is mint, new, with original carton and booklet to make an extra special wedding gift.)The steel body is triple chrome-plated and was sold as the "Diana" model with "Ivory Textolite" handles. Equipped with an accurate and sensitive temperature controller, this waffle iron produces a six and a half inch waffle, slightly thicker than average, quickly and effortlessly. This model performs superbly as great every day appliance -- a quality not found in new models. Having been completely restored, re calibrated, and tested with an infrared pyrometer as well as a road test, this one is ready for you to set the control dial for light waffles, or dark and extra crispy waffles, or anything in between. This one is excellent condition and ready for years of service.
