Griswold American #8 Cast Iron 3 PC Low Base Waffle Maker, complete, Restored

Griswold cast iron waffle maker #8. There are no cracks, breaks, etc. Base is the low, fixed handle type marked 154, and sits flat. Paddles have the coil handles and are marked 151. Handles have some corrosion / patina, but present fine.

There's a little bit of material missing from the edge of one of the paddles. Guessing a casting flaw, but could be a little chip and wanted to mention it specifically. Very clean overall, but used / loved / old so there may be casting flaws, utensil marks, scratches, flea bites, minor rash, dis colorization, staining, etc. Has not been used since the restoration process. Photos were taken outdoors in natural light and are a big part of the description.

I've restored hundreds of pieces of cast iron cookware. All go through lye to remove any crud, organic material, seasoning, etc. Then I run them through the electrolysis process to remove any corrosion, rust, impurities, etc. They are scrubbed by hand using dish liquid, stainless steel scouring pads, stainless steel brushes, and magic erasers under cold water to bring them back to the bare metal finish.

Finally, all pieces are run through three rounds of seasoning using vegetable shortening. Cast iron cookware will last hundreds of years and generations if properly taken care of.

These are beautiful, heirloom quality pieces made right here in the USA. Will be bubble wrapped and surrounded by packing material to ensure that they don't shift in transit. They are not making cookware like this anymore, and I would consider it tragic if anything were to happen to these in transit.

Just contact me before to make sure we can make arrangements that work for both of us and I'll add the option to the listing. If you have any questions, need additional pictures, or anything else please message me. Thank you for viewing this listing. I try to keep a good amount of cast iron listed in my store if you would like to check it out.
