1800's Wrought Iron Wafer Press. This 19th Century Press has a Unique Geometrical Circular and Multi Point design. The Wafer Irons have * Medieval origins in ancient times the Greeks cooked flat cakes, called obelios, between hot metal plates. As they were spread throughout medieval Europe, the cake mix, a mixture of flour, water or milk, and often eggs, became known as wafers and were also cooked over an open fire between iron plates with long handles.[8] Waffles are preceded, in the early Middle Ages, around the period of the 9th[x=#226/][x=#8364/][x=#8220/]10th centuries, with the simultaneous emergence of fer [x=#195/][x=#160/] hosties / hostieijzers (communion wafer irons) and moule [x=#195/][x=#160/] oublies (wafer irons).[9][10] While the communion wafer irons typically depicted imagery of Jesus and his crucifixion, the moule [x=#195/][x=#160/] oublies featured more trivial Biblical scenes or simple, emblematic designs.[9] The format of the iron itself was almost always round and considerably larger than those used for communion.[11][12]
