Mine has the steam holes, but still has an all metal face plate. I won't fill it with water, though. I'll only use a spray bottle of water while ironing.

Congratulations on your find. Just remember that irons draw a lot of power. It's better to plug it into the wall rather than an extension cord, but just make sure that the extension cord is the shortest one that will suit your purposes and remember to turn the iron off/unplug the extension cord when not in use. I do like the surge protector idea. Don't put the extension cord under a rug or anything - dangerous.
