Période

Used mostly in 1960s- 1970s.

Canada

This iron was given to the donor as a going-away gift when she moved from Saskatchewan to Ottawa, Ont. c. 1961-1962. She used it until 1970s during her travels to Europe. Later, she used it at home for ironing delicate items and fabrics having a fine finish. (ref. 1)

Fonction

To remove wrinkles, creases, etc. from fabric by means of direct application of pressure, heat and/or steam. Travel iron is generally smaller and lighter than regular irons, in order to facilitate packing within a suitcase or other travel bag.

Technique

Example of a compact travel iron capiable of use at 120- 230 volts. It was originally supplied with 2 adaptor plugs, allowing for use almost anywhere in the world. (ref. 1) Handle folds down to further reduce space needed when packing.
