I have other vintage/antique collectibles listed.   I will combine shipping. 

Here is a super rare cast iron waffle maker dated 1865 by the Bridge Beach & Company in St. Louis, MO.  This company was known for making wood stoves, but not so much for accessories like this.   Most of the waffle makers by Bridge Beach I've seen are dated 1877.   I have never seen on with 1865 date.   A fellow ebay informed me that they were made to commemorate the end of the Civil War and were made between 1865 and 1875 (with the same 1865 date on the metal).  This is made for wood stoves to sit on the stove with the round disc part removed and you can rotate it while sitting on the stove.    

******SOME STATES ARE NOW CHARGING SALES TAX ON PURCHASES.  I THINK IT'S BS AND WRONG, BUT EBAY DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY.  I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT.   VOTE TO CHANGE THINGS!

*****BE SURE TO CHECK THE SHIPPING TAB!  THE SHIPPING SHOWN MAY NOT BE THE CHEAPEST.  I USUALLY HAVE DIFFERENT CHOICES. 

****** INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: I USE THE INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM. CLICK ON THE SHIPPING TAB AND SELECT YOUR COUNTRY.  IT SHOULD SHOW YOU THE SHIPPING COSTS.  IF YOUR COUNTRY IS NOT SHOWN, THEN I WILL NOT SHIP THERE!  I DO NOT MAKE THE IMPORT COSTS AND SHIPPING COSTS.  THE EBAY SHIPPING CENTER DOES.  BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL IMPORT COSTS. 

RETURNS: I will accept 'free' returns ONLY if the item is not as described.  IF you don't like it, doesn't fit, changed mind, etc, there MAY be a deduction in the refund to repay the return shipping I am charged.   Original shipping is NOT refundable for any reason.  PLEASE understand this, especially if you are buying something that costs a lot of money to ship because you will not get that original shipping refunded and I may deduct return shipping fees (figured on a case by case basis).   Thank you.

**** I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE SHIPPING CARRIERS AS LONG AS THE PACKAGE WILL ARRIVE AT THE SAME TIME, OR EARLIER, THAN WHAT THE  BUYER CHOSE.
