Hello Michael, welcome to WAGS. The John B. Harker company is in our foundries links. From what they made, they were in business in 1883, as shown from the waffle iron you have. We also have a picture of a cast iron egg baker that they made and a waffle iron. Hope this helps some. And thanks for stopping in.

Viewable by WAGS members only which is a good reason to join WAGS.  We just have a few photos of Harker irons I think.  I don't know about the company but the irons are nice ones.

Marty post some pics.  The only ones I've seen are on the foundry list.

Just located the Ebay "you won" email for the Harker.  I bought it in Feb. of 2005 for $70.  Now don't anyone tell me they bought one for $20!!!!!!
