Early Universal Waffle IronAlthough this waffle iron is 80 years old it is still a credible performer even by modern standards, suitable for making waffles. The little waffles it produces are perfect for re-heating in a toaster or microwave. The grill area measures 7.75" x 4.25" and we've not disturbed a very good seasoning on this one. The tray measures approximately 8" x 11". It comes with an authentic 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 a practical electric waffle iron just prior to World War I. This third model was produced from about 1925 to 1930 and is a direct descendent of the company's first waffle iron. Its heating element was later deemed to be over engineered and of too high a quality for a non-commercial appliance. The company's later models were designed with much lighter duty 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. Universal Model E9305a The Trade Mark Known In Every Home Landers, Frary & Clark New Britain, conn. U.S.A.

Manning-Bowman & Co PuritanThe Manning-Bowman Company was noted for it's high quality stylish products. It was one of the pioneers in the small electric appliance field and produced it's first electric waffle iron just after World War I. This model was marketed as the "Puritan" model and with real Black Walnut handles and a wonderful bull's eye design of concentric circles on the lid. This one has been completely disassembled, cleaned and reconditioned to as close to factory new as we can make it; a very minor scuffing on the lid is the only plating imperfection. The original wiring has been replaced by modern high temperature wire, the same high tech wire found in new cooking appliances. It is in very good condition and ready to make waffle for many more years. Manning-Bowman & Co. Meriden, Conn. U.S.A. Made in the U.S.A. Shipping weight: 9 Lbs. $125Purchase Information |

Westinghouse Early 1920s Waffle IronBy the early 1920s, Westinghouse introduced this fourth model of waffle iron. Most of the money is on the inside, where it counts, with highly over-engineered heating elements, big and sturdy, essentially what we consider today as commercial quality. The body is heavy gauge steel plated first with copper and then nickel. And the object was to be able to design and manufacture a thing that people would buy and would last, because that used to be the only way to stay in business. They weren't too concerned about the exterior styling until another decade later.This one has been completely disassembled, cleaned and rewired with modern appliance wire, and will make waffles for another 80 or a hundred years, given any reasonable respect and care. It works as well as it looks. Obviously, it's previous owner loved it, too and never abused it with abrasives or worse. Circle "W" Waffle iron Westinghouse Electric Mfg. Co.
