This is an old waffle iron. Maybe over 20 years old. It heats up, but there
is some indicator light which I think means the waffle is done. I am not a
waffle type person so I have not personally had any experience using it. I
have been told that the light sometimes will stay on when it is supposed to
be off, and other times, won't come on at all. There is a control knob
underneath the handle. Here is a pic of it.

I can't find any make or model info on it. There are some logo-like wavy
lines that look like a scripted, lower case "L" on the top of it. There is
some writing toward the front of it but some of the letters are faded away
and I can't figure out what that is either. Is the light just a switched
temperature sensor?

I have a pizelle iron that is similar. The indicator simply
indicates when the heating elements are receiving power
(i.e., when the temperature sensor is "calling for" heat
*and* the unit is plugged in).

Its role, as such, is more of "the iron is now up to temperature".
