I just picked up another waffle iron and need some info. It is a Griswold #8 Pat. July 11, 1922. I can't find it in the blue book. It does not use a base. It is in good shape but needs work. Not sure but I think someone painted it. One of these days I will get back to picking skillets.

Another waffle iron

- Start date
I now have time for a Gridwold waffle iron. I picked this up for $13 which I thought was low but I know nothing about it. It only took me two days to clean.
I noticed that it does not use a base. The blue book only mentioned the heart shaped 1922. Any info would be helpful.

It uses a base. The paddle design does not use leveling pins, but instead relies on the squared shank of the handles. The design also allows for the same pattern to be used for both paddles in a set. The BB pg. 93 shows your p/n paddles, but in a stove ring base.
The chart here: http://www.castironcollector.com/waffle.php will tell you which pattern number bases your paddles fit.

It very much needs a base. The high base #88 comes in two patterns and there is also a low base. The 151 also came along side a 151N. Lots of information on the web as it was a good seller for over 30 years.

I have a line on a Griswold WI for $35, and I think that is a very good deal. So... yeah.

"Give you a local"? Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
Probably meant "Locale" as in a place where something happens or is set, or that has particular events associated with it.

My location is in my profile information on the right. But I'm not offering that waffle iron to anyone, if that's what this is about.

John if you are patient and watch ebay for "waffle base only" they come up for sale every now and then. You just have to know which numbers and shapes to watch for. I am still waiting on a couple I need.
