Hi I am new here:) About 30 years ago I got this waffle iron. I have tried to identify it. I have search with no luck. Maybe someone here will recognize it and know where it was produced. I have described it as a Pennsylvania Dutch Design. But, I could be wrong with the description. I have looked it over with a magnifying glass and was unable to find any identifying marks.

Thanks Geordine

Thanks Bonnie and Rick, when I got the waffle iron the owner said they had painted the item with black paint. I have never used it or tried paint remover on it. I know it got wet a few years ago and the orange on the inside is a bit of rust. Geordine

Geordine, I have been cleaning a couple of waffle irons lately. After a week long soak in a lye tank I bet yours would be gorgeous. It always amazes me when I can take something that seems so unusable and transform it into something I want to cook a waffle on. A lye soak would take every bit of crud off, including the paint. If you don't want to set up a tank you could spray it with oven cleaner, put it in a black trash bag and set it out in the sun. As soon as I saw your iron I wanted it to go swimming in my tank. :razz:

Geordine, here is a waffle iron that is kind of similar to yours selling on ebay. It was produced in New York.

I suspect that if you soaked that iron in lye for a week it would probably reveal the maker.

I purchased this one a couple of weeks ago and it really cleaned up nice.
I will post pictures of it on my next day off.

Don't let that sold for price fool you. I went in with a low ball offer. :-)

It could be possibly be a German piece since Pennsylvania dutch is just people of German decent.

Here is the after picture of my waffle iron. I think they look so nice when they are freshly cleaned. It's very industrial looking. The handle feels like it's made of polymer but it's wood. I sanded it smooth.
