Sad-Iron Heater
10. Sad-Iron Heater, U. S. Patent 70,572,
November 5, 1867, George Hurdman, Wolverhampton, England.
The
invention is an iron for pressing clothes. A sliding lid allows access
to a box to add charcoal.
The 7" x 4" x 8" model is wood and metal. The patent date etched
on the top of the chimney, "Patented May 21, 1867," is possibly the
British patent date. The model was well made and, except for two small
broken parts, is in excellent condition. Since a British manufacturing
company obtained a U. S. Patent, the invention was possibly manufactured
and used.
