Griswold No 6 waffle iron

[Ethan Miller]

I found this waffle iron I was considering purchasing. I can not find any others like it online. Do you think it's genuine or not?

In a word, no. Although I haven't encountered that particular fake/repro before, the embossed shell makes no sense, nor does the two leveling pins. Genuine iron sets that have leveling pins in that 4 o'clock/8 o'clock position only have them on one side, not both. Irrespective of those things, the casting quality is far below anything Griswold (or nearly all the other major name brand manufacturers) would have put out.

Edit: I just looked at the rest of the photos. Definitely a fake. Not "bead blasted".

Thank you so much!
