In the I Love Lucy Season 4 episode The Business Manager the show opens with Lucy making waffles for breakfast on her Westinghouse “Grill-n-Waffler” Waffle Iron. Unfortunately these waffles don’t get cooked because Lucy has not been paying the electric bills on time. You may notice the studio audience laughing while Lucy is pouring the waffle batter, but at this point in the story line we don’t yet know the power has been cut – apparently the audience knew the plot, or perhaps this was not the first take . On eBay this week is a Westinghouse Waffle Iron model HW 40-1 pictures below or Click Here to view the listing . I also see a very similar model SGWB-521 with original booklet.
