Griswold Waffle Iron

[Margaret Strong]

I picked up a Griswold waffle iron at a yard sale for $1 and know nothing about it.  Any information you can give would be appreciated.  I've looked on eBay and don't see any with the same base.  The base has C8 formed in the end of the cast iron handle.  The waffle iron is marked with the number 885.  I'd like to know an approximate value.

The base is from a Crescent waffle iron set, not a Griswold. So you have a marriage of two parts. It is still worth more than $1.
