Steam irons came later. Do you recall using a soda pop bottle as the water container? The little sprinkler plug had cork on the stem to grip firmly inside the bottle neck.................. I also recall those old irons were h*e*a*v*y!!!

I remember those days. I started ironing at 8 years old. I was good at it. By the time I was 10 I was doing most of the ironing with the exception of my mother's bras with the spiral seams. I could never get them ironed to where she could stuff them all the way to the center. There was always a vertical crease on the end of one side and a lateral on the other.
