Cari, who used to post here, finally found a set of Brother irons. I don't know what it cost, but they arrived broken. Cast iron is brittle. Someone dropped my grandmother's iron skillet, and it crashed into many pieces.
A friend sells on Ebay and often sells overseas. He ships whatever it is to New Jersey and that person handles all of the details to go overseas. I'll find out who it is if you are still interested after MacyBaby detailed what it takes to ship in the US.
