Nice!
My iron collection
@Lols

The all–grey one at the back is SOLID IRON!
In front of that TWO irons with a tank for methylated spirits or kerosine (no sure which, people mention metho but I have read mention of kerosine.) One of these, the one with the red handle, is in pretty good nick (appearance only, don’t know and don’t care if it all still works!
Leaning against the more buggered up metho burning irons is an iron trivet to rest the iron on. Next to the trivet is the type of iron where you poured (I assume) hot coals into the container then close and latch the lid—kept the iron hot for longer. On the other side is the little curved iron I got—still have no idea what that was for.
Finally we have an electric iron, dunno, 1940s or 1950s?. Hoping Lols can find me a very early electric iron (cord not essential unless it is the sort that plugged into the light—electricity was originally rolled out to light homes.
Detail—latch on the live coal iron:
e coal amn
Notice both the live coal and the two metho burning irons have holes near the top of the sides? Both needed air to keep coals/metho burning.
