Rocker Style Fluting Irons

 

 

The Erie 3-Piece Fluter  Erie / Griswold put out a quality product and their cast iron cookware is world famous and very collectible.  Their side line products are even more desirable and oftentimes hard to find.  This fluter is very nice and complete.

Geneva Hand Rocker Fluter    Hailing from Geneva, Illinois this is the classic rocker fluter, and oftentimes the one that gets the collection going!  Although advanced collectors consider these to be pretty common there are actually several variations in these irons in the pattern of the dots and in the way the name is written.  This example is clean and bright---the fluted portions are a cast alloy material and upon close inspection there is some evidence of deterioration going on in the form of a tight crack in the rocker, but overall it displays well.            Click for Pic          Click for Pic

3 Differently Marked Geneva Fluting Irons    The Geneva rocker fluter is one of the most common fluters that was made, but there are differences even amongst the common, making some, no doubt, rarer than others.  Each of the three pictured is slightly different form the next.  All are the same price because I do not know which came first, or how long they made each for, or which is the rarer version.  Complete the collection here!!!

"Good Luck" Rocker Style Fluting Iron  This is a nice looking and hard to find fluter.  It appears it was at one time nickel plated and some early collector thought it would look better with a coat of black paint on it.  No telling where ones taste runs.

Star Fluting Iron    Nice design to the cast iron embossed Star Logo on the top rocker portion of this fluter.  Much harder to find than the version where the word Star is written out.  Different & nice!!

"The Best" Rocker Fluting Iron     The "Best" was probably one of the most popular given the number of them that we have seen and handled over the years.  Perhaps it was the BEST!

"The Best" Rocker Fluter     The inventor of this one had something of an ego!  He called it "The Best".  Maybe it was.  Both of these examples are marked "H. Foote Mfg. Syracuse, NY" on the underside of the fluting base.  The tops are boldly marked "The Best".  Note the tab on the top that allows it to be used as a lifter for the base.
