This antique hard to find Griswold #9 Cast Waffle Iron has been fully restored and seasoned and is ready to start making some amazing waffles! #9‘s are tough to find and especially in the shape this is in. Look at the size of the paddles, this makes some serious plate sized waffles. After full electrolysis and restoration using three rounds of our oil seasoning, it‘s ready for the next 100 years of use. Shipping is of utmost importance so shipment comes insured and is carefully packed for the ride.
This patent date of 1910 puts this early New American style #9 in the Erie years, which are very collectible skillets. Griswold had not yet adopted its large logo style patterns, and were making skillets using the Erie logo. This waffle iron had a "japanned" finish to it, which is a process of coating the base in black coating. It was sporadic and worn well when we found it so we stripped it down as much as we could to reveal its natural black iron base. You will see some traces of the japanning on the base.
DISCLAIMER: We have prepared this piece to be ready to use or displayed in a collection. All pieces are vintage, and therefore are not in perfect condition. Their history of use means small marks and inconsistencies, including residual carbon, which we feel give them a special charm. All items are sold as is, and we have done our best to present them as such. Please review all pictures and ask for further clarification if needed. Thank you! - Cast & Clara Bell
