That sounds cool. I would definitely pick that up if I found it in an antiques store.

Oh gosh i remember when Eleanor Burns of Quilt In A Day used a similar one to iron yardage on her show. She acted like everyone should have one.

Does anyone possibly have photos of the gear box? I can’t find any images and the roller isn’t engaging. I can’t tell if I’m missing something. The original schematics are seriously lacking.

Here's a lot of info on it https://sewingiscool.com/ironrite-mangle-iron-model-85/

Google is your friend.

My mother also had a flat roller iron, but I don't remember a top on it....her's was a butter cream yellow I think. We used it for any flatwork (sheets, pillowcases, table clothes etc.) There are times I'd love to have one again for pressing those 108" backings if i had somewhere to put it!

That would be such a help! I used to have a press (until it died) and used it a lot, but a roller iron would be awesome
