This adorable Wagner Ware Waffle Iron is a salesman sample. These were made for the traveling salesman to be able to carry his wares to rural America households that bought from the traveling salesman and not the department stores of the city. They were made to a smaller scale and exact replicas of there larger size items to make it possible for the salesman to carry these examples to demonstrate the products. By making the miniatures they were able to take a larger number of items to the housewives of America without carrying the heavier, larger ones that would have not made it possible for them to show as many items and probably saved their backs.This is made of cast iron and has a wooden handle. It is three pieces..the stand and the two part waffle iron. The handles are perfect, no breaks or splits and the cast iron is in fantastic shape. It is the cutest thing. On both sides it carries the name Wagner and says "Feb 22, 1910. Sidney, O." it is 6.5 inches from the end of the handle to the tip of the stand and 4.5 inches wide. This is an original and featured in antiques books as a true Americana Collectible. There are fakes out there so dont be fooled. This is the real deal and exactly as the books picture. I have owned this for over 30 years and it was one of the first items I bought when I starting collecting miniatures. Look for other rare and interesting miniatures and micro miniature antique items to be listed soon from around the world. This item will have anadditional 2.20 charge for delivery confirmation from the post office for bothour protection. Claims are easier and it takes the guess work out of lost items when a delivery confirmation is required. I do not require this on all my listings unless they fit a certain criteria that I feel warrants this, such as, what the specific item is and the real value of the item, not the price you bid and paid for, most things go for much less then appraised or auction value which is why Ebay makes a great place to find items at a better price than retail stores or estate sales. Although I do not require this on all my items, you may request delivery confirmation on anything you purchase from me. Please note that shipping is set to what the Ebay form allows and I can ship items in a less expensive manner such as ground, but I need to invoice you with rates that are not available when you calculate shipping. If you want priority no matter what then you may pay before invoicing. I will make sure I get the best price no matter what carrier it may be with to save you money on shipping rates. I know the postal rates have gone up and I always take the time to find the best prices for you. With the economy the way it is I will do my part to help keep cost as low as I can. Note to the winner: All sales are semi-final.(I will take returns on a case by case policy) Upon winning the auction ,before paying, I will figure out payment due to get you the best shipping price I can and to insure all shipping cost are accurate. I prefer to Invoice before payment is made so I am not paying for miscalculations in shipping. Insurance is highly recommended, although on some of my antique and collectible vintage items insurance will be included for both our protection and will state this in the item description or handling fee, if any problems occurred in transit you must notify me within 24 hrs.of receipt of merchandise for it to be considered and/or to assist in making a claim. Non paying Bidders will be reported to Ebay. Please try to pay within 7 days. I can work with you to extend time if need be so please stay in contact.
