I couldn’t find these in the BB, are they in the RB? Mine hasn’t arrived yet. I know the base is incorrect but did these ever come with handles like this?





 
RB pg. 159. The handles are not original. Somewhere along the line the paddles parted ways with their coil handles.
 
That’s kind of what had me confused on it. The handles are pretty nice and have been on it awhile, but they are extremely long.

It’s definitely a patched together set, I have no idea who made the base but It certainly doesn’t go with that waffle Iron.
 
Catalogs from the early 1910s show them all with the stubby, unturned, black painted wood dowel handles. The turned ones likely fall between them and the coiled. By the mid-1920s, they're all shown with the coil handles.
