My grandmother had this exact waffle iron when I was a kid; decades later I was moving and got rid of it because I didn’t think it could be refurbished to be safe. I could kick myself now:

I have a wonderful old Sunbeam toaster of that vintage - use it every day.
We used to have that waffle iron.. the Bakelite handles were broken beyond repair so I let it go.. but that was before the days of eBay.
If I’d kept it, I would probably find another one on eBay broken in a different way and use it for parts.
I don’t feel too bad though, since we never eat waffles.. ;-)
