Part of the Ontario Hydro collection donated to the museum in 1992. Ontario Hydro received this iron from Toronto Hydro-Electric System, and accessioned it into their collection in 1964.

Fonction

Used to press flat and/or remove wrinkles from fabrics.

Technique

The electric iron was invented in 1882, by Howard Seely. Seely patented his electric flat iron on June 6, 1882 (U.S. Patent no. 259,054). Early electric irons used a carbon arc to create heat, which was an unsafe method. In 1892, hand irons using electrical resistance were introduced by Crompton and Company and the General Electric Company. During the 1950’s, electric steam irons were introduced.
