Antique Gas / Fuel Pressing Irons

Antique Gas Pressing IronMontgomery Wards Gas Iron  This iron is mint and was apparently never fired.  It's in the original  box and has its original illustrated instructions.   Not sure who made this one for MW but it is a neat design with the streamlined tank and pump in the handle.  I have heard the Amish are still using these irons today, but without electricity and computers I doubt they will be able to find it here on the www.  I don't think Dell is making a pedal power or gas fired computer yet.   Perhaps a more worldly neighbor will let them know where all the gas irons are.  Here!!!

Antique Gas Pressing IronColeman "Magic" No. 10 Instant Lite Fuel Iron   Here is a vintage Coleman iron that you don't see every day.  They called this one the "Magic" and it is marked that it is Made in Canada.  You could make a career out of just collecting all the different variations of Coleman irons that were made.  This one is kind of sleek looking with nice lines cast into the base.  The green paint on the handle and the tank is a nice touch as well!

Antique Gas Pressing IronPatented Monitor Front Fuel Tank Gas Iron  Some might call the Monitor a "common" antique gas iron, but this example is in uncommonly fine condition, with nearly all of its original nickel plating finish remaining.  And the placement of the fuel tank at the front of the iron is not a common feature either.  The patent date on the base is Apr. 14, 1903.

Antique Gas Pressing IronFirst Model Coleman Fuel Iron   No bells or whistles---just a classic double pointed gas iron bearing the Coleman name.  Note the offset fuel tank, the idea being to keep it from getting in your ironing line of sight.  Coleman didn't begin using model numbers until successive models---the beginning of a legacy!

Antique Gas Pressing Iron"The Monitor Sad Iron Co. Liquid Fuel Iron   The company hailed from Big Prairie, Ohio and the iron is marked Pat. Pending.  This is a nice front mounted fuel tank iron with a heat shield that has the manufacturer's info on it.  I believe it is one of the earlier models.  A book could probably be written on all the variations of these.
