Antique Early GRISWOLD Cast Iron Waffle Iron Maker THE AMERICAN Low Base #8 RARE
For all those who love the workmanship and lure of cooking on an old Griswold pan, this rare sought after piece is hard to find, especially complete! This is one of the earliest waffle irons Griswold made! It is The American! It was made in the 1880’s. I found it in our old 1800’s Vermont farmhouse kitchen. Being a lover of all things cast iron, especially Griswold I immediately put this waffle iron to use on our wood cook stove. And I have to say it makes the most delicious waffles, maybe because it brings you back to a simpler way of life when cooking was meant to be made with love and without rush. This cast iron Griswold waffle iron is in very good vintage condition. There is some age related wear and some mild minor pitting. There are also 2 old braised repairs on the base. It’s underneath and is not visible and clearly they are strong as they have withstood the test of time. And also the hundreds of waffles I have made with it over an open fire! The griddle irons are 8 in in diameter and 1 in high with 5 in long wooden handles that are black. The low base is 10 in in diameter and 1.25 in high and a 4.5 inch long ornate cast iron handle. Please note, I do not over clean any of my cast iron or antiques. The only thing I have done to this waffle iron is seasoned it yearly with olive oil.
