Maggie Jacob's Iron
 |
| Maggie Jacob's Iron, 9 pounds, 6 3/4" long x 4" wide x 5 1/2" high. This iron was heated on the wood stove. It was so hot when taken off of the stove, that the person doing the ironing had to quickly move the iron across the clothes to prevent scorching. When the iron cooled, it would have to be reheated on the stove. People with several irons would heat one on the stove while ironing with the other one. Charlotte Abbott Dudt Collection. |
