"Antique Irons" Filled Pressing Needs
I am not sure when the practice started of starching and ironing your clothes, but it seems certain that it has its origins in the court of some highfalutin king
Old Iron - these were used not only to iron clothing but heated and wrapped in blankets or towels and used at the foot of the bed as a bed warmer. Used'em as doorstops too!
Did you know that the electric iron in the 1920's was the entree into home appliances for P.C. Richard & Son? "The electric iron was the acorn that gave me my start and eventually opened the door to my growth into the electric appliance business" -A.J. Richard
