Our Antique Iron and Laundry sales pages are taking on a new look.  We are now offering for sale many antique and collectible irons and related laundry antiques originating from three great iron collections---one that focused on small and child-size irons, another that includes a wide array of unusual antique pressing irons and antique laundry / washing collectibles, and antique irons from another collection that got so large it had to be pared down and refocused. 

We are delighted to be able to offer you select irons and related laundry antiques from these collections.  There are pieces included that have been off the market for 25-40 years, and are the sort of things you just do not have the opportunity to find or buy anymore. We are happy to be able to participate in disbursing them for our consigners and find them new homes in collections where they can again be admired and appreciated.   

The laundry and cleaning related antiques found on this page will mostly relate to the tasks related to laundry and washing that was usually performed on Monday.  There will be full size washers, plungers, agitators, pounders, dryers, racks and a host of related cleaning devices designed to help take the drudgery out of the Monday / Laundry day chores women of yesteryear use to endure.  There will also be a large amount of related NOS soap boxes starch boxes and related type advertising which will be found on the General Store page.
