I've had a cross section of irons in the last 40 years, cheap to expensive, and always thought you just planned toreplace them every two years. Which equals how much dollars have I spent on them??

So I got a wild hair the other day and started looking at vintage irons on ebay.
It is kind of a pain to get the list narrowed down to irons in our sense of the word
I won the first one I bid on

You can't beat $20.00 total if it works like I think it will.
It doesn't have steam vents so if it wears out, it won't be because of water.

This was the second one I was going tobid on if I didn't get the first.

I thought about this one

Far too high for my taste, but can you start go get an idea of what I was looking for?

GOOD CORDS first and foremost!
And I did want a smooth plate. But Good Cords!

Have some fun with it, if something goes too high you know there is Always another bus coming along on Ebay
