Période

Canada

Common in rural areas of Canada before electrification (1911 into the 1950s). Coleman Lamp and Stove Company also operated out of Toronto, Ontario (1925). Part of the Ontario Hydro collection donated to the museum in 1992.

Fonction

Used to press flat and/or remove wrinkles from fabrics. This style of iron was equipped with a tank filled with kerosene which had to be pressurized through the use of a small hand pump. Liquid fuel ran through a tube hear the burner element, vaporized and burned. The temperature of the sole plate could be controlled with a small adjustment to the wheel.

Technique

It was marketed as an advancement in the design and task of ironing, as the user was not longer attached to the hot oven, electrical source or gas supply. The iron’s manufacturer also highlights an increasing trend in North American relations of American companies seeking markets and less expensive plant production within the Canadian economy.
