Westinghouse Sandwich Grill and Waffle BakerIn the late 1940s and early 1950s, when a Chevrolet had a new look and televisions had round screens, the baby boom was well under way and millions of American families were growing with three, four and five children, and more on the way. With that many hungry mouths to feed, Westinghouse sold this heavy duty model as an automatic sandwich grill that is also a waffle baker to feed a large family. This hunk of chrome measures 14 inches across and makes a waffle approximately 10 inches by 10 inches. The black Bakelite handles are wonderfully sculpted into a leaf motif. The waffle grids can be removed, flat grilling plates installed, and when the lid is fully opened, the unit converts into a grill large enough to make up to eight sandwiches at once. This example is in mint condition and it was never used. It includes the grilling flats, the original paper advertising insert and the accessory waffle grids in their original packaging. Of course, we include our instructions for curing the grids before making waffles the first time, tips for successful waffle baking, and a variety of waffle recipes. SOLDPurchase Information |

Arvin Model 3550 Automatic Waffle Iron, Grill and GriddleThis fully automatic Arvin combination waffle iron, sandwich grill, and open griddle was built in the early 1950s, as substantially as a '53 Buick. One wonders if the designers at Arvin borrowed the hood ornament design from Buick as the large, rich looking, brown Bakelite lid handle on this beast.First it is a waffle iron which produces a large nine inch square waffle which easily breaks into quarters for four servings. Next, the waffle iron grids are removable to expose stationary flat grilling surfaces, so you've got a sandwich grill or panini press to prepare grilled ruben or tuna melt sandwiches. And, the lid hinges are built to expand automatically for extra-thick sandwiches. And, finally, it opens up completely to provide a cooking area of 162 square inches -- enough space to make eight substantial flapjacks or the same number of hamburgers. The wide stance base makes this the most stable large combination unit we have ever found. The temperature control knob is easy to read, located in a large Bakelite handle. This one looks like nearly new, and it is in tip top operating condition and ready for many years of service. And, it's not made in China.

The BrunchmasterThis vintage twin waffle iron is set on a chrome plated deck which measures approximately seven inches by fifteen inches. Not only are the handles walnut but the side rails, too. The clear cabuchon jewel set in each lid function as signal lights which is quite unusual. Bravo to the good people at Excel Inc. in Chicago, Made in the U.S.A.This waffle iron is automatic with a sensitive, sealed thermostat controlled by a knob on the tray. Each unit makes a waffle approximately four and a half inches by five and a half inches. Because of its size and rectangular shape, waffles from this iron are ideal for re-heating in a toaster. This waffle iron has been disassembled, cleaned, internal wiring inspected and replaced where necessary, then reassembled, calibrated, polished and tested. It is in very good condition. A detachable cord set is included.

The Waffle-Master, circa 1930-1935Patented by Charles P. Strite, this is the first waffle iron produced for home use by Toastmaster circa 1930. It is amazingly automatic, with a huge ruby jewel indicator light, a sturdy ticking clock, and adjustment for how soft or crisp you want your waffles. To operate the waffle iron, one sets the adjustment for soft/crisp, then cocks the lever on the right all the way to the left into a slot where it is "heating up" mode and the ruby jewel glows brightly. When it reaches operating temperature, the lever resets and the ruby jewel dims; then add the batter and cock the lever again, then forget it. The clockworks timer starts ticking until the waffle is done; then the waffle iron automatically switches into 'warm' mode. This waffle iron weighs about eight pounds! Now about 75 years old, it has been completely refurbished, the clock cleaned and lubricated, the internal wiring replaced, then tested. It is in very good condition. The grids have been cleaned to be in like new condition. The cord is permanently attached. It even has the original overflow ring that surrounds the grids which is usually missing.

Toastmaster Waffle Baker late 1930sManufactured for only five years in the late 1930s, this superbly engineered, near commercial quality waffle iron was like a twelve cylinder Pierce Arrow -- absolutely top drawer. Not many people could afford them, so not many were made, and they are quite scarce today. So, it is a rare treat for us to offer one for sale. Back then Uncle Hank presented one as a gift.This model has one of the most accurate sensitive temperature controllers ever put into a waffle iron. In fact it proved so reliable that the company continued to use it for another 20 years in the later 2D2 model. If your looking for minimalist post war styling choose the 2D2 on the first page, but if you want classic 1930s Art Deco styling the 2D1 is the waffle iron for you. This model has an easy to manipulate temperature control knob and a large red jewel indicator that is easily visible in the brightest kitchen. This iron makes a full size 7 inch diameter waffle. This model was sold with the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This very low mileage piece is in superb condition.
