IMPORTANT: This is a tough to find piece and beautiful in design and look. However the base is cracked, which affects its value. It's tough to price these because so few of them are around. To find a non cracked base is virtually impossible, so we are disclosing the issue and selling as is. The iron will work perfectly as designed. The owner should just be gentle with the cracked base when using. There are no other issues with the paddles or the self opening handle.
This #7-8 G.F. Filley waffle iron is amazing. The detail of the raised paddles and base and the fully functional self-grabbing handle is just a work of art. The handle you see pivots open the paddles and rotates them as well, which is an ingenious design. G.F. Filley made some of the most ornate waffle irons and gem pans in the early 1900's, and are highly sought after by collectors.
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
