Canada

Sad irons were presumably used in Canada from the 1880s up and into the early 20th century.

Fonction

Sad iron with detachable handle used to press flat and/or remove wrinkles from fabrics. Base absorbed and retained heat when the solid body of the iron was placed in close proximity or on an external heat source.

Technique

Sad irons with detachable handles (patented in 1871 in the U.S.A.) are a marked advancement in the history of ironing technologies. They not only increased productivity, as a user could have multiple iron bases being heated at once (and therefore not have to wait for a single iron to re-heat) but also provided a greater level of comfort for the user; wood does not conduct heat and allowed the user a much cooler handle. This iron does not have any number type indications. The detachable handle suggests that it was sold with partner pieces. These irons were generally sold in sets of three with a detachable handle. 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. These sets were made up of different weighted irons, which were designed to be used on differently weighted textiles.
