Special Purpose Antique Sad Irons
Hatters / Hat Making Irons


Antique Electric Hatters IronHat maker's Electric Iron This is a very nice example of a hard to find electric hatters iron.  It is marked Grand MFG Co. a small maker that was located in Chicago and serviced this small niche market.  Like many aspects of life business etc, hatters had specially designed and shaped irons for their profession even though in the end the desired result was the same.  In general the main difference is they are round front, and very heavy.

Hat making Irons3 Hatter's Finishing Irons    From the bottom left.  First we have a McDonalds Rotary Iron.  They were a aftermarket gentleman's iron for touching up the evening wear.  The next one is the same iron in the original box.  On the top is an electric iron for touching up in those hard to reach places.  This style iron could have been used in other applications than hat making, but it came right out of a hat makers shop we helped close up and sell off.

Brass 
	Electric Handled Hatters Finishing IronBrass Electric Handled Hatters Finishing Iron This iron is for finishing the hat and for small hard to reach areas.  It is electric with an unusual looking plug on it.  The lid swings open to allow access to what I assume is the heating element.  I do not know if it is operational.   It is the same iron pictured just above.  Very nice, and unusual.
