Montgomery
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!!!

Excellent ..... $75.00
Coleman
"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!

Patented
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.
