1978 Catalog Page

[Russell Ware]

Here is an odd ad from a 1978 catalog. The Belgian Waffler and Krumkake Iron listed in the ad were made by Nordicware, but who in 1978 was making a cast iron high base #8 waffle iron with wooden handles and low base Heart and Star Iron with coil handles? Imported? Any ideas?

I have no clue.......but I just ordered 2 of each. I'll let you know when they get here😉

Russell, I have been  and still can't come up with an explanation.........

[Russell Ware]

At that point in time, this catalog normally states if an item is imported. These items aren't indicated as such, but perhaps they were of European origin. Either that or GHC was digging deep in the Wagner/Griswold pattern vault for something that still might have some life in it. But these two items are only in the '78 catalog. not before, and not after.

That is a mystery
