Engraved model number (see photo) but no company name apparent. 7” face plate length plus fuel bulb. Typical of this 1920’s/ 30’s vintage style. Overall good condition with a solid, beautifully worn wooden handle.
• Fuel Reservoir: The spherical bulb attached to the back holds liquid fuel (such as gasoline or kerosene) to heat the iron internally.
• Control Valve: A small side knob regulates the flow of gas to the internal burner.
• Handle: Features a heat-resistant wooden or composite grip elevated above the metal body.
• Ventilation: Perforations and side slots allow heat and exhaust to escape while keeping the base plate hot.
• Self-Heating Design: Before electric irons were common in every home, these liquid-fueled irons freed users from constantly reheating heavy iron blocks on a stove.
