I also like the old irons with the metal sole plate. Also do not want a steam iron. So when I saw the old fashioned dry iron advertised in "The Vermont Country Store' catalog I snapped one up. Love it. Can't remember what it cost, sorry :-(. Now if I need a little water on my ironing, I spray a water mist from a bottle and then happily iron away. No automatic shut off, and no leaking, sputtering or spurting! Hallelulah!
