Round Steel or Cast Iron "Rossi" Pizzelle Iron in front of my "Mancini" Iron

I bought this old "Rossi" Iron on eBay to add to the collection. It is very distinctive in that it is round with a very ornate inlay on each plate and the name "Rossi" in script on one of the plates.


"Rossi" Latching Mechanism

This is also a very unsual latching system with a serrated/graduated latch.

Another Cast Iron Pizzelle Iron obtained on eBay. This is also very distinctive on the inside.


Latching Mechanism on the Cast Iron Pizzelle Iron Marked "PAT. J.C. 26.81.

There are many Latching Mechanisms on old Pizzelle Irons.


This is the inscription on the Pizzelle Iron Marked "PAT. J.C. 26.81.

I think the J.C. has Religous overtones based on the cross on the inside.


Inside of Cast Iron Pizzelle Iron Marked "PAT. J.C. 26.81.

I think this makes one large cookie with two impressions of Christ on the Cross.
