No. 2 Natural Gas Iron
This iron was manufactured by the Milwaukee Gas Spec. Co. and sports
two different patents. I imagine one was for the unusual shape and design
of the heat shield. This iron is ready for display.

Acetylene
Stove Co. Cleveland, Ohio Gas Iron
This gas iron's name
implies that it runs off of Acetylene gas, or at least that the parent company
had something to do with it. I have several different versions of this
iron. All close to the same, but all a bit different.

Natural
Gas Iron
This iron is in good
condition. It is a natural gas model, it is unmarked but generally referred
to as the Colt. It was either used in an urban area where natural gas
was available, or commercially. It looks as though they ran it hot a lot
with the scorching near the vent holes.

"I
Want You" Comfort Natural Gas Pressing Iron
This is the spade shape model. Lots of info cast
into the top. A nice iron!

The
"Jewel"
Here is one I have never seen before. I assume it's a natural gas iron.
The good news---this iron looks like it was never used. The bad news---it's
missing the fuel line, so it probably never was. The other good news is
that it's easier to display without that pipe sticking out the back. It's
got great lines and with a name I am not familiar with. It bears the patent
date of Aug. 22, 1911.

Humphrey
Patent
I imagine the patent on this one was for the unusual shape of the heat shield
and the ergonometric handle. Different than most!

Colt
Carbide Gas Flatiron
A lot of people think this iron was produced by the famous gunsmith, but according
to Esther Berney it was not. Same name, different maker. There is a minor break in a portion of the gas line that is inside of the rear housing, but it does not show when the gas line is screwed in.

ML-COLT
Clefton
Fuel Iron from Owatonna, Minnesota
This iron resembles the Colt iron but is
marked "The Clefton Co." and it's a lot harder to find than the Colt.
Many of these small companies were bought out by one another, which explains
the sometimes confusing similarities.
Very Good ........ $95.00
