I have one. I love it for scraps and yardage.

Thanks for the pictures and additional information. Appreciate it.

Okay so that's what my mom had back in her sewing room years ago. Not sure what happened to it after we left that house. Thanks for the memories!

After seeing the pic, I remember seeing one of these at an auction.

ThayerRags;3471131 I live in San Francisco and only wear cotton because I am allergic to Polyester and many artificial fabrics. I do iron my shirts, my antique tablecloths, and antique napkins to a professional polish as if they came from the laundry or dry cleaner. It is a wonderful machine and irons any type of clothing, sheet, anything cotton. Here is a video of how to use the machine. The ironer irons anything in less than 1/2 the time of a conventional iron.

Yup, that's the one. My mom had one too. It'll be great for doing any fabric you want flat. Good job.

My Mom had one too I loved doing sheets pillow cloths and hankies on it! Do not know what ever happened to it.

I use one for sheets, pillow cases, shirts, etc.

Some things to note: Test the temperature! These were designed in the day of cotton, linen, etc They run hot! Today's synthetics can scorch. Keep the temp low! Wipe down the motor before use. These tend to spray (drip?) oil which can transfer to the fabric as it falls toward the back over the motor.

I had never heard of one except in a short story by Stephen King about an industrial mangle being possessed by a demon. Way back in the 70’s. Strange what we remember.

My Mom had one and I learned to do shirts, pillow cases, sheets and je=ust about anything else on it at an early age. I have often thought I wish I had kept it when we cleaned out my Moms house - I might not be adverse to pre-washing if I still had it - lol. Good luck with your purchase!!
