Patented & Unusual
Antique Gas / Fuel Irons

Antique self-heating fuel irons can incorporate many unique designs and unusual patented features, and they were cutting edge technology in their heyday during the late 1800's to early 1900's.   Coleman was actually making them in Canada up till the 60's or so for the crowd up there without electricity.  I find the idea of pushing a live flame around on an ironing board to be an intriguing and potentially exciting idea if not life threatening.

Coleman irons are perhaps the best known of the gas or liquid fuel irons, but there are many other less frequently found antique and patented fuel irons to be collected.

On this page you will find American and International antique fuel irons that are powered by gasoline, carbide / acetylene, kerosene, natural gas, whale oil, petroleum, alcohol, and gas-jet heated pressing irons.
