This is a real beauty! Picked it up at another estate sale for a pittance. It was pretty dirty, but after a little elbow grease and a few hours of painstakingly cleaning the grill, voila!!
Ca. 1945 to 1955 Sunbeam Waffle Iron Model W-2 makes jumbo sized waffles in no time at all. Original cord and in fantastic condition, this baby will outlast any modern waffle iron made today. The chrome top has some scuffing to the surface but other than that, it looks amazing. Measures 12″ square and weighs over 10 pounds. It will need to be re-seasoned before use as I scoured the grill. Later models have removeable grills which popped out for easier cleaning but this early model does not.
For sale at my booth at the Almonte Antique Market,, 26 Mill Street, in Almonte Ontario.
Priced at $45
I have this from my mom….you’ve inspired me to give it a good scrubbing and start using!

Wonderful, it should be used. I should have taken a ‘before’ photo to show you the difference compared to when I found it.
Did you sell the waffle maker?
Not yet. Last time I was at my booth, it was still there.
I would like to know how and what you used to scour the plates to like new condition. Time I have. The knowledge I don’t. Thanks
I made a paste of baking soda and vinegar and patted it all over the grill and left it for hours to soak in. It really lifted the grease off the surface. Make sure the paste is fairly wet. If it dries up after a while, just add some more water or vinegar. I used a plain metal scouring pad, the kind that doesn’t damage the surface. You don’t want to use anything that would leave an after taste so don’t use any cleaning products. It might take a few applications, and you can leave the stuff on it overnight. It really is amazing how it works. Let me know how you fare.
How much do you want for this?
I think I have $55 on it. It is at my booth in Almonte ON. (if it is still there that is)
Is this waffle iron still available?
As far as i know, yes. I would have to check my booth to verify.
I thought I responded to this post yesterday, but I don’t see it now. Would you ship this to the states?
I can ship to the states. The waffle iron is quite heavy and the shipping would be expensive. Email me at afacette@gmail.com with your address and I will provide you with a quote on shipping. Thanks.
The waffle iron is sold. Sorry.
Do you still have the Sunbeam waffle iron?
