Hello from Oklahoma🙋‍♀️

[Jan A]

I’m excited to find this site. I’m in the process of downsizing after 4 decades at my home. I’ve already sold several pieces of our CI collection, but there’s one piece I’m not so sure I want to part with because of its mechanical ingenuity.
I haven’t been able to find any info on it, so I’m hoping someone here can enlighten me.

Because there is no name on the waffle iron, it's sorta impossible to say with 100% confidence who made it.

That being said, it has characteristics of a P&B (Phillips and Buttorff, Nashville TN) waffle iron and appears to be in excellent condition. I would estimate that your waffle iron is from the mid-to-late 1800's.

It's in excellent condition. I would restore it and cook on it again. Family iron is the best, most valuable iron there is.
