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 piece is fully refurbished with new stainless steel hardware and new internal wiring. It is in very good condition.

![]() Felicia and Fred in Spencer, New York bought this model waffle iron and wrote to say I just wanted to let you know that the Toastmaster arrived and today we made our first batch of waffle awesomeness. We were on track to buy a commercial waffle maker when I stumbled across your site. As it happens, I'm an artist and my partner is an engineer. Our combined standards tend to be impossibly high, and it's a rare delight to have them met. As the engineer says: this waffle maker was designed before they put a man on the moon. After nearly 100 years of engineering "progress" what we've got to show for it is Facebook and crappy waffle irons. And as the artist says: Gorgeous!!! Thank you for providing such a fantastic service! David in New Orleans bought this model waffle iron and wrote to say The 2D1 arrived on Friday in beautiful shape. I seasoned it and made a batch of waffles yesterday. It heated up quickly and cooks perfect waffles with absolutely no sticking. It is hard to imagine that from a 70 year-old machine! Thanks. |
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. This waffle iron is in excellent condition and comes with a facsimile of the original instruction booklet as well as our own tips for making waffles successfully. Toastmaster Model 2D2

![]() Jim in Chandler, Arizona bought this model waffle iron in mint condition and wrote to say I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my "new" 2D2 waffle maker. It is kind of neat getting a 70+ year old appliance that is still brand new and in such perfect condition. It looks great on my counter with it's stable mate 1B8 toaster. And the best part is it makes great waffles. From the very first time I used it the waffles have come out perfectly brown with no sticking plus the built in timer is right on. And the sixth waffle of a batch is just as nice and brown as the first which most new machines can't do. Catherine in Beckwourth, California bought this waffle iron and wrote to say The ToastMaster waffle iron arrived safely this evening & was most ENTHUSIASTICALLY received (we had waffles and lentil soup for dinner....) It's in magnificent condition and working perfectly. Thank you so much for offering this service and for being such a delight to do business with. |

General Electric WestportGeneral 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 made in America. 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. This one is in excellent condition. We've disassembled it, and tested it for operation up to specification. We include a detachable cord set, our instructions for seasoning the grids, tips, and lots of waffle recipes. General Electric Westport

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 top of the case, even when in excellent condition. If you want a waffle iron in close to perfect cosmetic condition, please choose the Sunbeam CG. This one is in very good condition. It has been disassembled for inspection and calibrated to factory specifications. Sunbeam Model W-2

The Hansons in Minnesota bought this model 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
Jane in Austin bought this model 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 Michael in Brooklyn, New York bought this model 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. |

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. 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. 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. This one is in excellent condition. Sunbeam Corporation, Chicago, USA, Toronto, Canada
