Jeffrey's waffle post inspired me to get to work seasoning some of mine. I am working on this one today but I can't figure out which is the right base? Any ideas?

It works nicely on this 985. I have one of the wooden handles but I seem to have misplaced the other. I am bound and determined to get a WI in the fancy waffle iron post! Oh handle, where are you hiding?

I tried the 975 but the part where the handle sits seems a little large. The 985 feels more like a good fit, the 975 wobbled a bit when I turned the iron, the 985 was a smooth flip.
I found my other wooden handle but it's not the right fit. I think maybe this one had the little stubby handles.

I found another 975 that fits. As far as I can tell the only markings on it is 975. Both of these are 975's.
Hi! I purchased an Alfred Andresen Kornucopia Krumbkake iron and am awaiting it's arrival. Now, amazed at all the vintage irons, and trying to date the one I purchased.
I have a few questions and hoping someone may be able to help:
Mine is marked 975 WICo. on base - does this mean Western Importing Co.? Does this mean mine was made after Alfred was ousted? So, 1913 or later? And how long were these made?
Another clue may be that mine has a simple teardrop cut out in the handle of the base. All the others I've viewed, whether marked Griswold or WICo., have a fancier design in the base's handle.
Thanks for any info!
