3 Dover Sadirons Dover was the maker of the famed adult-size A-Best-O removable top sadirons. They also had a full line of child size irons, which they touted as so well made that they could be used by adults for real ironing as well. Here are three different examples. On the left is what they called the A-Best-O 602. In the middle is the Dover Dolly Iron. On the right is the one-piece that looks like a two-piece Dover. All three are in very nice condition.
