History
These irons came from a 1930s farm home in southern MN where the landlord would not pay for a power pole to connect the house to the REA's line along the highway. These irons could be heated on the wood stove for use. Found in a box in the attic of a 90 year old whose family lived in the same area for nearly 150 years.
