Wagner Manufacturing Company — No. 8 Cast Iron Waffle Iron (Low Base)

The Wagner Manufacturing Company was barely a year old when it received the patent stamped into this waffle iron. Founded in 1891 in Sidney, Ohio, Wagner secured its July 1892 waffle iron patent within the company's first full year of operations — making this No. 8 low-base waffle iron with original wood handle a founding-era artifact from one of America's most important cast iron manufacturers. Marked "WAGNER MFG. CO. SIDNEY. O." with "PAT. JULY 1892." Acquired from eBay seller lori132, October 2025.
