This is an old waffle iron. Maybe over 20 years old. It heats up, but there is some indicator light which I think means the waffle is done. I am not a waffle type person so I have not personally had any experience using it. I have been told that the light sometimes will stay on when it is supposed to be off, and other times, won't come on at all. There is a control knob underneath the handle. Here is a pic of it.
I can't find any make or model info on it. There are some logo-like wavy lines that look like a scripted, lower case "L" on the top of it. There is some writing toward the front of it but some of the letters are faded away and I can't figure out what that is either. Is the light just a switched temperature sensor?
