Lot 68:
Two Vintage Clothing Irons Including Nassau Electric Travel Iron and Miniature Painted Cast Iron Sample
Description
This lot consists of two vintage clothing irons representing different eras and functions. The primary item is an electric travel iron featuring a chrome-plated metal housing and a streamlined, light peach-colored plastic handle. Affixed to the upper rear surface is a metallic nameplate featuring a textured grid pattern and the word NASSAU printed vertically in black capital letters. The iron is equipped with a black, two-strand electrical cord terminating in a non-polarized two-prong plug. The second item is a non-electric, miniature cast metal sad iron, likely produced as a child’s toy or a salesman’s sample. It is constructed with a pointed metal soleplate and a green-painted top surface and supports, topped with a cylindrical green-painted wooden handle. The miniature iron features a rear-slotted design characteristic of early laundry tools.
