I have one. It is over 50 years old. It is actually back then called a Mangle. Works pretty good.

I think my mother has one in her basement. I remember her using it when I was a kid. Next time I go to Pa. I am going check and see if it still works.

My mother had one of those in the 50s. It was called a "Mangle" and she became very good at it, ironing everything from sheets to men's white button down shirts.

When I was a kid my mom had something like that, the roller part had a cover on it. She used it for towels, sheets and stuff like that. We called it a 'mangle'.

When I was a kid I had to iron my dad's boxers, hankies and pillowcases every week. I hated it. Mom kept it up until she had her heart surgery and then my dad decided it wasn't necessary LOl.

My Mom had one of these when I was small. She called it a mangle and she would do all her flat ironing on it...... See old things do come back to use

In our neck of the woods these were called "mangles". I guess that's what happened if you got carried away and ironed your fingers or hands. HA I had one for a while but we didn't bond and it eventually went to a garage sale.
