My rummage sale treasure!
 
I am soo excited! I just bought an old GE iron for $3 at a church rummage sale. It's made in the USA!! You just can't find that anymore! Tried it, and it works. :D It's heavy ( :thumbup: like that!) and the cord is only about half as long as it should be, lol, but I LOVE it! It's so old the prongs on the plug are both narrow! Just have to tell the world here....

Good to hear it! That's what I'm needing. Some of these new irons are wussy. I don't care if the cord's short---I'll use an extension cord with it.

Lucky you! You never know what you'll find at those sales.

I found an old Singer iron with a cloth-wrapped cord at a church rummage sale. And, it still works! But I don't use it, I have it only for display. The cord come off and it makes a great door stop.

I always use an extension cord with an on/off switch for my irons. That way I can leave them plugged in and just use my foot to turn them on and off at the extension cord.

I have been using my moms GE iron until it took a dump last week. :~( I wonder if I can have it fixed? My mom used to take her things to a fix it man shop. I wonder if there is such a place these days? I love that it got so hot and that it was a dry iron with no holes.
