Canada

Manufactured in Brockville, Ontario, Canada. Possibly by James Smart Manufacturing Company, as this large scale company was located in Brockville, however, there is no Smart insignia on the iron.

Fonction

Flat irons or sad irons were heated on a stove and then used to press and smooth textiles.

Technique

The flat iron or sad iron was a precursor to the sad iron with a detachable handle and the sad iron slug. The flat iron was problematic for the user in that heat would readily transfer up and through the handle causing discomfort and, when the base of the iron was no longer hot enough to adequately press the desired textiles, the user would have to take a break from the task of ironing in order to re-heat the flat iron; this meant that it could not be continuously used and that the domestic chore took a longer period of time.
