New Restorations

[Kyle S.]

Hey everyone,
Here are a few new restorations. The waffle iron is amazing and I thought the no cross Wagner/Griswold chicken fryer would interest a few of you. Have a great weekend!

Kyle,
Thanks for posting pictures of your new restorations. Is the #7 shallow skillet gate marked?
I have a gate marked #8 shallow skillet that the handle appears very similar which I posted an inquiry about recently. This post which has three photos is dated Feb. 2 and it titled "Gatemarked Shallow Skillet ID Assistance".
Do you know anything about your #7 that could shed light on my #8?

It is gate marked with a heat ring. I have no info on it. Wish I could help. I have given up trying to identify gate marked pieces. Never turns much up in my experience. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Happy pickings.

Does yours have a "2" cast into the bottom like mine (see the third image in my original post)?
Thanks

No. Mine does not have a two. and it is also not milled to a smooth surface like yours is. It is more of a rough casting. Doug linked some information on gate marked iron. It is not impossible to identify, but there usually needs to be more than what your pan has. Good luck.

I have never seen a waffle iron like that one, or as clean....great job!

[Kyle S.]

Thanks Sean! It was fun to find and not too hard to clean. Have a great day.

What's the story on acquiring the waffle iron? That one is awesome.
