From smoke-free Waffle Dog maker is based on Patent No. 2,696,161, issued on December 7, 1954 to inventor C. J. Hicks. These irons were produced in the mid‑1950s and continued into the early 1960s, during a time when cast aluminum stovetop molds were popular for camping and home cooking. Electric waffle and corn‑dog appliances eventually replaced manual irons, so production stopped by the mid‑1960s. Because they were made for a relatively short period and many were heavily used, surviving examples like this one are now collectible pieces of mid‑century kitchen history.
