Gorgeous, original complete Favorite Piqua tall base waffle iron. Est 1920's and makes crispy waffles!

This is a show stopper! The Favorite Foundry (OH) was an early 1900's foundry that was only in production until roughly 1938, when the foundry was burned down in a riot created by its workers during the Great Depression. We love everything about the story and history of The Favorite (Piqua) / Chicago Hardware foundry, and we LOVE this hard to find waffle iron with TALL base! It makes wonderful waffles, but also breakfast sandwiches, ice cream sandwiches and more creative twists to the traditional! The Favorite Piqua logo shines bright and clean as its been fully restored and is ready to use! The handles are original, and can be tricky to restore being made of wood. When we season waffle irons we give them a heat treatment which can weaken the handles at the rivet area where they attach to the paddles. So there is invariably some carbon left right at the rivet area and the lower side of the paddle. You will see this in pics. DISCLAIMER: We have prepared this piece to be read
