I am very minimalistic with my Snaidero Italian kitchen, I don't like appliances in view. The vintage waffle iron, being the exception, looks amazing sitting there in the modern design, love it! The waffles coming out of the iron are fantastic, thanks to your cooking instructions included. So far I have only used the Simple Waffle Recipe", when I get some time I will venture something a bit more exotic." Landers 1920s Dome Top Landers, Frary & Clark Company New Britain Conn.

Early Universal Waffle IronAlthough this waffle iron is 80 years old it is still a superb performer even by modern standards, suitable for making endless waffles which are the perfect size for re-heating in a toaster. The grill area measures 7.75 inches x 4.25 inches. The tray measures 8" x 11". It comes with a cord set with twin plugs.At one time, Landers, Frary & clark was the most well known household goods manufacturer in the world, beginning in New England in the 1840s and was one of the first manufacturers to produce electrical goods including a practical electric waffle iron. This third model, produced from about 1925 to 1930 has heating elements that were later deemed too high a quality for a non-commercial appliance, and later models were designed with less robust elements. The body and tray are made from sheet brass, the legs are turned from solid brass rod, then nickel-plated and polished. The cooking grids are cast from aluminum impregnated with paraffin and were advertised as "never needing greasing." Whatever the claim, we suggest that before you use your iron you season the grids. Complete seasoning instructions & recipes are included. Rob in Modesto bought this waffle iron (and a toaster) and wrote to say "I ship and receive vintage glow in the dark radios and the first indication I get of quality restoration is the care in the post and packing. Thanks for the outstanding wrapping and packaging of the waffle iron and toaster! The included magazine adds and operating instructions were a gracious addition. Apparently many vintage electrical appliances of the early twentieth century in original operating condition work splendidly and look elegant. These certainly do!"
