Paid: $7
Someone's Aunt passed and had the house open for a nice sale. There was a lot of old stuff there, this was the first piece I seen when I walked through the back door to the kitchen.
This one was the Fitzgerald company's top-of-the-liner in the late 1920's. There's a green jewel on the dome knob, and an interesting temperature gauge that wants you to "Wait for total eclipse." ..well I don't know, but the only total eclipse visible in the US at that time was after the 20's, so that must have been one well-done waffle.
The Eclipse gauge is great, but seems the original owner used some metal putty on one side to keep it together. Some research
revealed the design for the gauge was flawed and fell apart (p.72) after much waffle madness.

ReplyDelete...unfortunately, most good things come to an end, as this waffle maker tumbled down from its perch and was dented; landed smack on the tombstone, which was already damaged, now moreso,and now I'm pending what to do with it.
