Antique Cast Iron Waffle Iron with Long Handle – Hearth Style

Description :
This antique waffle iron features a patterned cast iron cooking plate with square waffle grids and a long twin-rod handle, designed for use over an open fire or hearth. The underside reveals a classic waffle mold design, used for making crispy, grid-patterned waffles directly in the coals or on a woodstove. The heavy-duty cast and elongated handle suggest it was built for both durability and safe fire-side use. It’s a rare, rustic kitchen tool perfect for collectors, historical reenactors, or functional display in a vintage cooking setup.
