Canada

Presumably used in Canada from the later 1800s into the 20th century. Manufactured in Brockville, Ontario, Canada. Possibly by James Smart Manufacturing Company, as this large scale company was located in Brockville, however, there is no Smart insignia on the iron. James Smart Manufacturing Company was a prominent iron manufacturer in Canada.

Fonction

Used to press or smooth-out fabrics, this iron draws its heat from an iron 'slug' placed inside the body of the iron. The 'slug' was heated on a stove plate before being inserted into the iron. By constantly heating and interchanging slugs, the iron could be used continuously. This particular model holds the slug in place by means of a gate at the rear of the iron that could be raised and lowered at the user’s discretion.

Technique

Aesthetic advancement from the flat iron or sad iron with a detachable handle. The base of the iron remained clean and soot free which resulted in a cleaner pressed product.
