Function
Flat irons or sad irons were heated on a stove and then used to press and smooth textiles. When thoroughly heated, the handle/nickel case was attached to the sad iron base and secured with a screw. While one iron was being used, the other two (or one of the other two) would be heated on the stove. Once the iron being used had cooled, it would be placed on the stove, the handle would be removed and then attached to another (hot) iron base. These sets were made up of different weighted irons, which were designed to be used on differently weighted textiles.
