Reply With QuoteI would have guessed a waffle maker for a stove
Or perhaps a cooking press for bacon etc
But it looks real cool whatever it is great find

Anyone any idea what this is? An opening thing rather like a waffle maker in principle (though not really room for batter) which fits onto an insert for a range or similar. Maybe for embossing something?
Marked Gydé so maybe French etc? 33cm Tiles!

Steak press?

I'm on the stroopwafel train.
old french cast waffle iron , the base is for it to sit on a stove gas burner.
Gydé is definitely French*; a short internet search puts the family in Northern France so would be consistent with waffles. But as you said very little space for the mix so how about a stroopwafel press?
* the border between France, Flanders, Belgium fluctuated enough to justify calling the name Gydé «*French*» needs to be understood as a fairly wide claim.

Curious, how did you find it?
Thanks everyone, looks like it is a waffle maker, similar one on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335049031213?_ul=GB
Much thinner than usual though, max ~3mm thick so yes, more like stroopwafel or ice-cream cone.
Might see what I can make - will fit over gas hob…
Was my Father’s. Bought lot of stuff like this - old irons, kitchen equipment etc at auctions.Originally Posted by williemays

Galettes is a general term. But it looks a lot like the smaller one her, from your link
In this add they call it "gaufrette", literally petite gaufre or small waffle, which ties in well with the Dutch wafel
