????? about the Wagner Waffle Iron

[James Wilson]

I have never come upon one so they are completely foreign  to me, besides, do I need more carbohydrates??
No....
What I would like to know about this particular example is all you care to tell me  ;D   like the approximate era, do they have a base or can they be used effectively without one?
A value would be interesting although that would have small importance given the supply / demand ratio down here ;)

Thank you and check out my slightly larger Cannon post 8-)

There is an example on page 252 of the Blue Book of a #7.
It has a base with a bale handle.
Circa 1895 - 1915.
The base is essential if you wish to open the waffle iron and have it not fall into two pieces.
BB has value at $50.00 for intact with base.  Don't know how mush just the paddles would be worth.

Thanks Roger. So that bolt that is at the knuckle fulcrum end is a bit of Kiwi ingenuity? Otherwise known as butchering through necessity ;)

Hello James. Nice to hear from you. Even though you don't have the base for your waffle iron you can still use it just fine as it is. Just put in your batter and lay it on the stove burner and turn it just as you would if it were in the base. The waffles won't know the base is missing. ;)

Correct James.  That's the only way you can use the paddles without the base.  Value?  With that bolt damage, here in the US, very little value.  Five or ten dollars maybe if someone wanted the handles.

In you area, who knows.  Very scarce, but no collector value, just an old user.  Whatever the market will bear I suppose.
