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.

Michael in Brooklyn, New York bought this waffle iron and wrote to say I received the Sunbeam this week and used it this morning. All I can say is, "Fantastic". This makes great waffles. How is it that the products made in the USA in the mid 20th century out perform those made today? We certainly have lost our way, haven't we. A pleasure to do business with you. Archie in Doraville, Georgia bought this waffle iron and wrote to say I had to let you know that I finally had the chance to use my waffle iron. First, it looks brand spanking new and second, it makes fantastic waffles! I am so happy to have the chance to buy an American made vintage waffle iron that will probably still work 50 years from now. Robert in Portland, Oregon bought this waffle iron and wrote to say Jane in Austin bought this waffle iron and wrote to say Just want you to know how much we've enjoyed our no-non-stick waffle iron. We've enjoyed it so much and it's easy to use. It's a real tank. Works like a charm and no Teflon. Thanks from Texas |
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 model 2D2. Each ones comes with a copy of the original factory insert which have directions and recipes, and our own set of instructions, seasoning instructions and a small brush for doing so, and a slew of recipes.

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. Outside dimensions including handles is fourteen inches square and four and a half inches high. Each nine inch square waffle easily breaks into quarters -- the perfect size for storing and freezing, and for quick re-heating in a toaster. The accessory grilling plates are $55 with a CG and $65 if sold separately, and when available.

Royal Rochester 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. This one was never used and it is in mint condition. It comes with a detachable cord set.

Catherine in Hixson, Tennessee wrote to say Just wanted to let you know that the waffle iron was a big hit on Christmas morning. My husband loved his vintage gift and the waffles were the best he's ever made. Thanks to you, great items like these can still have a life and are certainly much better than the ones currently offered for sale at retail stores. 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 *Best Value*General Electric produced this stylish high quality, non-automatic waffle iron, so well engineered that it self regulates -- as long as it's kept full of batter it will not overheat. It will turn out an endless stream of waffles which measure 6 1/2 inches in diameter until the batter is gone. This model is a good choice if you are looking for a waffle iron not made in China. But then, all the waffle irons we sell were made in the United States.With "textolite" handles and absence of a thermostat, this model was sold from the late 1930s until the late 1940s, long before no non-stick coating such as Teflon, which can be toxic and dangerous to pet parakeets, parrots, budgies and other birds. It is in very good condition. We've disassembled and cleaned it, installed modern high temperature internal wiring, and tested it for operation up to specification. It comes with a facsimile of the original instruction booklet "52 Recipes" that came with the waffle iron when it was sold new. We include our instructions for seasoning the grids, tips, and lots of waffle recipes.showing that it had been a prized posession before it got to us. And, now to you at our most reasonable price.

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 quickly and effortlessly. This model performs superbly as great every day appliance -- a quality not found in new models. Having been completely restored, recalibrated, 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 in very good condition and ready for years of service and includes instructions for seasoning, tips for successful waffling (calling all politicians) and a slew of recipes.

Suzy in Forestville, California wrote to say I tried an inexpensive waffle maker that only worked for about a month and only made mediocre waffles anyway. I had been on the verge of buying a heavy-duty Calphalon iron but it was big and probably wasn't going to fit in my cupboard (and we don't have a lot of counter space). I was reading buyer reviews on some site and one of them mentioned Toaster Central. I went and checked you out and knew I had found our new waffle iron. It took me a couple of weeks to decide which one I wanted and to decide that it was worth the cost. It definitely is! Not only is the Diana beautiful to look at, it makes perfect waffles every time. I was intimidated about the "seasoning" but it was simple. I have not yet had a waffle stick, which seems somewhat miraculous. We couldn't be more pleased. |
