That’s a tough way to get wrinkles out of your clothes Lenn.

And the finger prints in the paint give it character. 🤠

Nice work, Lenn. I got Simone a little kerosene parlor stove that is set up with 2 sad irons (one handle).
I will look for a picture when I get a chance.

Your right Jim, with our cook stove we don`t need such a thing but they are cool.
How about those nice finger prints on the side where i picked it up before the paint was dry.  :P

Got one of those somewhere as well Lenn, I think the idea was to be using one and have one heating on the stove and interchange them to the wooden handle.
Much like changing batteries now on a portable tool :)
