1920's Griswold No. 8 Waffle Iron (886/885) with short base 795 and original wood handles Favorite diamond The circular decorative pattern on

The circular decorative pattern on the bottom assists in heating and is acceptable for all cook surfaces including induction tops

and the bottom of the base has the raised "S"

It seems that for a brief period of time there was a foundry (as opposed to being made in another facility like Griswold or Wagner on their behalf) that was owned by two brothers in Chicago during the early 1900's

VERY cool gift or collectible idea for the holidays OR for the every day grill fanatic

We think it gives it a cool variegated look
