Early
General Electric Iron with Matching GE Trivet
This antique electric iron played an important role in the history of
early electric appliances, being a symbol of the transition from
stovetop-heated flatirons or fuel powered versions to electricity. With its cast iron body it
pre-dates the later chrome-plated irons that are typically found. It
has a great 2-prong porcelain plug built into the back and it's complete
with its proper matching trivet that proudly displays the GE logo.

Pacific
Electric Co. Patented Electric Iron
This iron hails from Ontario, California and is not often
found in other parts of the country. It came in a few different sizes
with this being the 4 lb. one. There is lots of writing cast into the
top, including the manufacturer name and several different patents dating
from right around 1905. It has an unusual flat-prong plug.

Antique Electric Iron
On the left is another example of the Pacific Electric
Co. iron.
It is very nice and in slightly better condition that the above example.
Next is a VOLTO. This is a hard to find electric iron whose name played off the new power source that created its heat. Note the white porcelain plugs at the rear. It is in super nice condition.
On the right is an iron by the "Guaranty Electric Heater Co." of Cleveland with an early screw-in plug. I imagine they were playing off the name of their GE competitor.

Sleek
White Enamel Teardrop Shaped Vintage Electric Iron
I'm not sure if this iron is American or European.
It has great form and a really pretty white enamel finish that will clean up
nicely. You don't see too many electric irons that are shaped like
this with that rounded back and elongated toe. Definitely different!

did a bit of touch up on one edge where the porcelain chipped but it still
looks great.
