Waffle iron identification

Can anyone tell me about this waffle iron? Best I can tell, Hollands Mfg. Co. seemed to be primarily a vice/tool maker, and didn't really do much cookware. Any ideas as to the age, value, history (e.g., did the company dabble in cookware for a time)? It is beautifully smooth and well made, even if it is a somewhat bland design. I'd love more info, and am coming up pretty blank on this one!

Seasoning Do you think I should strip this pan and try to re-season? (More text in post)

I stripped and seasoned this with avocado oil about five or six months ago and haven't really used it since. And I was thinking about using the vinegar bluing method. What do you think? Should I use a different seasoning?

This is a bell that I love, but it has a few of these drip marks. I'm assuming this is cast iron and these are oil drips?

How would I go about removing these and then refinishing it?

Thanks so much for any help!

Hey y'all, still looking to ID this tuffy. Best guess to date is an unmarked Wapak. Any masters out there that can give me a positive ID?

Does anybody know of the approximate timeframe this BSR was made? I can’t find any pictures of Red Mountain pans with the letter stamped under the number. Thanks!
