American
Machine Co. Roller Fluter
This is a nice example of a classic
American antique roller fluter. The fluting base hinges open to reveal
the original heating slug. The underside is marked with the
manufacturer's information. It's in really nice condition and still
retains most of its original black paint and gold pinstripe. No iron
collection is complete without this one! A really fine example---you
will never need to upgrade!

Ogden's
Patent
Fluter This is only the second one of these I have seen in
15-20 years. We found one back then in an out-of-the-way backwoods shop in
the Midwest and have not seen another since then. Boy do I miss
those days of turning stuff up! Now it seems most of these hard to find
irons are all in long time collections like this one.
This example is unmarked, and I am getting the name Ogden from Dave Irons' book, where he shows one he says is marked "Patent Applied For". That could make this an even earlier model. Or perhaps it was marked in stenciled lettering that has worn off, although there is still a good amount of original paint remaining. (Or perhaps even the patent model missing its tags!)
The condition of this fluter is very nice. The roller handle is hollow to accept a heating slug. Amazingly it has not gotten separated from its proper and original fluting board. The walnut back board is nice, and the brass fluting board looks great.

Patented
"Indicator" Fluting Iron This is a rare and desirable
fluting iron. The patent info is cast into the bottom. Its claim to
fame, and what sets it apart from, and way ahead of, all the other similar
fluting irons is that it has a temperature gauge / thermometer built into the
top arch on the left. A great idea, and one of just a handful I have
ever seen.

Sheppard
#85 Fluting Iron in Original Box This is not your
standard roller fluter. It is a rare day you find them this nice or in
their original box. It does not look to have ever been used.
