Before I retired my job required travel. I would take my sewing machine, my travel iron, and that little ironing board. I used it a lot. Last time we moved, a container fell off the trailer and it must have been in it since I've never found it. Looked into buying a new one; it was $40 plus shipping so I decided I would have to live without it. Should I ever see one at a garage sale or flea market I will snatch it up.
