Antique Gas / Fuel Pressing Irons

 

Blue and Black Porcelain Radiation Rhythm Gas Iron  This style English natural gas iron comes in several colors, including green and this harder-to-find blue and white speckled color with black.  I'm not sure what the significance of the name is but the iron itself is a real eye-catcher.  The porcelain is in great shape and it displays really well.   A tough iron to find here in the states.

Unusual English Gas Jet Iron  This very small antique gas iron is one I have not seen or had before.  There are American versions that are very rare, and I assume these from England are tough to find as well.  To heat it up you would put it directly on a lit gas jet, which would shoot fire up the inside body cavity.  Really unusual, and it will clean up nicely.     LCM-GI-I-2

Antique Wall-Mount Gas Jet   This decorative piece of antique hardware is an example of the type of gas jet that would have been used to heat gas irons and other "modern" appliances in the early 1900's.  These are a great way to display an iron like the one above.          Click for Pic        LCM-GJ-1

"Otto" Improved Patent Liquid Fuel Iron    This is an English natural gas iron with some patent information cast into the top.  It's about the only gas iron I know of that has the gas line hookup coming out the side rather than the front or back.  The iron is in super condition.  The heat shield is really nice and so is the handle.  It doesn't look like it ever saw much use, and now it will look great sitting on the shelf out on display!             Click for Pic

Gebe Patent German Gas Jet Iron   This iron was designed to be heated over a gas jet.  The vent hole in the front is somewhat different in design than what was typically done on this style iron.  These "ox tongue" shaped European irons are considered "dual fuel" because they could also be heated by inserting a hot slug into the body cavity.  This iron is in good condition but needs to be cleaned up a bit.           Click for Pic
