I had an Ironrite Mangle, too. My mom taught me how on hers. The year my husband bought me one was the best Christmas. I ironed everything, ruffes, pleats, starched white men's dress shirts, jeans and slacks, all my kids school clothes, everything. I just loved it. I still love to iron, even by hand.
My mom had a mangle too and I loved it, she won it at bingo! I wish I had one now!
