Type used in Canada.

Fonction

To press textiles. Temperature control provided greater efficiency when pressing different styles and weights of textiles.

Technique

Highlights advances in the efficiency and ease of ironing. Temperature control was an innovation in this domestic technology that dates to the late 1920's. Unusual example of industrial design of the mid 20th century. The fins were devised as a cooling system for the moulded plastic handle. The small point at the rear of the soleplate could be used to iron frills and do other intricate work. The design of this iron is patented to 'C.B.Stevens' in July 1941; Edward P. Schreyer was also a partner on this design project. Mr. Clifford Brooks Stevens is a well known industrial designer of the period and this iron is recognized by many as one of the premier achievements in iron design. The fins on the sides extend beyond the plane of the cowl, giving the appearance of wings; the flight theme is echoed in the 'duck tail' at the back of the iron.
