funny to hear them say they're antique gadgets coz i see them in use in my everyday life lmao my grandma has one of those cast iron thingys, but different shape. and the weights are used at groceries.
I think the waffle iron is actually a communion wafer maker.
Watching through this again and saw the scales! I use the exact same scales at home for baking. They might not be perfect but it gives a more human feel to baking rather than zeroing and tearing. Still work, still just as good as when I started 20 years ago.
I worked in a traditional Gentleman's Outfitters (clothing shop) and one of their former shops has been a sweet shop before they got it. They found a large, old school sweet 'Balance' in the cellar and we had it on the main trousers table for 'interest' alongside a traditional Hat Stretcher, Clients loved playing with it!
He poached a pike in it if I remember rightly with loads of vegetables and someone
I saw exactly the same thing with few Fearnley-Whittingstall when he first did his country kitchen program

The last thing reminds me of a hobo pie maker
Our family has the butter churn. Actually, we have a few of them.
I had a similar item. You oiled or buttered the grill plates on the inside. Then you put a slice of toasted bread on the bottom one, add fruit or applesauce or even a slice of ham with cheese. Then you put another slice of bread over the top of your filling and clamp the other half tightly over the bottom half. Trim the excess bread that is exposed from clamping the two pieces together. Then lay the whole thing onto a stove burner. After a few minutes (2-3 Min.), turn this over to put the other side on the burner. When the slices of bread inside the device are cooked, open the device and out will come a 'pie'. Especially good with apples inside, a little cinnamon and powdered sugar over the outside crust. Mmm, good.
5:20 It's, also, still a beautiful looking piece of equipment
The waffle iron is for communion wafers
I have the same scale, purchased new in the 1980's so not antique, just vintage.
That is a waffle iron. In the 1700s and 1800s waffles in the UK and US were generally more of a wafer. The introduction of the Dutch waffle iron that makes the thicker waffles came later, at least to the UK and US. Though I believe they came in use in the US sooner due to the amount of Dutch and German settlers.
cookie iron
I have a cast iron aebleskiver pan that I found at the back of a cabinet in a house I moved into years ago. The owner didn't know where it came from and told me to keep it.
