This is a show stopper! The Favorite Foundry (OH) was an early 1900's foundry that was only in production until roughly 1938, when the foundry was burned down in a riot created by its workers during the Great Depression. We love everything about the story and history of The Favorite (Piqua) / Chicago Hardware foundry, and we LOVE this hard to find waffle iron with short base! It makes wonderful waffles, but also breakfast sandwiches, ice cream sandwiches and more creative twists to the traditional! The Favorite Piqua logo shines bright and clean as its been fully restored and is ready to use!
The handles are original, and can be tricky to restore being made of wood AND being riveted. See the handle pictures for more info. When we season waffle irons we give them a heat treatment which can weaken the handles at the rivet area where they attach to the paddles. So there is invariably some carbon left right at the rivet area and the lower side of the paddle. You will see this in pics. There is always a loose feel to the handles but they are sturdy and will not break.
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

Let customers speak for us
from 398 reviewsI bought a BSR No 8 recently. I’m very pleased with the condition. It was also very professionally packed to avoid damage. I’ll be buying more in the future! Thanks.
The Wagner Ware #10 spatula was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. The product looked exactly as it appeared on the website and is great addition to my collection of cast iron pots, pans and tools. The company was a pleasure to deal with and you can tell that the owners take pride in their excellent service.
Awesome dish! I want more of this set!…thx for the great item and service!
Great Condition and will be a nice user!
I also have 2 No. 8 with covers and 3 No. 14 unmarked skilletts in very good condition that I would be willing to trade if you would be interested. Please feel free to phone me if your interested. My number is [****]. Michael J. Brabender
I have number 3 through No,10 and No 14 Griswald cast iron pans and the matching covers except the cover for the No. 4 fry pan. I looking for that cover and No. 11. 12, 13, pans and covers. I would appreciate any help you could give me in securing these items. I would also like the No. 2 pan if you were to come across it.
I ordered the egg skillet spatula as a gift for a friend, and let me tell you -absolutely perfect! The customer service is fantastic, and I received a handwritten 'thank you' card with my order. I'm incredibly happy with the quality, and will certainly order from this company again!

What great service! The item was shipped in a timely manner and very well wrapped/protected (which almost never happens). I can’t wait to try it out.

This is a fantastic piece for my collection. I am so pleased with it. It was shipped and packaged with so much care. It was delivered exactly as described. They also have great communication. I emailed in a question about my order and received a reply quickly. A+++++
My grandfather recently passed and I was given three of his Griswold skillets. I fell in love and had to have more sizes in this collection. This is an amazing pan and has been cleaned/restored and is functioning very nicely. I love it. Great seller and very truthful about the condition of the pan. If you’re considering a purchase here, read and trust the description. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you! -David

Great skillet. Nice shape and I love the history of the foundry. lighter than my #6 Field. Pleasure doing buisness.
