Description

This was a thrift store or yard sale purchase about 15 years ago.  I don't remember the price.

white painted wood handle brittle paint but the wood is good.

"on the STANDARD" appliance plug:   u.s. pat. 8-3-26 & pat's pend.  can.pat. 1-18-27   600V  250W

on the back of the iron is stamped: electrex jr. x228   united drug co.   volts 110- watts 

sorry can't read the watts

I've plugged it in and the tempurature topped 380 degrees, after that my thermometer just reads Hi.  It does seem to stay between 350 and 378.  I went back and checked it a few times.

I love it and think it is beautiful because of the era.  I bought it to use as a novelty door stop to my sewing room.  But have had it in storage about 15 years.
