Dragon
Charcoal Iron This charcoal
heated iron is referred to as "The Monster". With the figural chimney
in the form of a dragon's head you can just imagine what a sight it was with
smoke pouring out of the monster's mouth. Might frighten you away from
ever wanting to iron again! A really hard iron to find!

Dalli
German Charcoal Iron complete with Accessory Tray
The Glissman book indicates that this iron was
manufactured by the Grossag Co. on a special order for another German
company just from 1928-30. In and of itself the iron isn't
exceptionally rare, but it is seldom found with its auxiliary accessory
tray, that allowed you to convert the heat source from charcoal to alcohol.
This example is in excellent condition and complete with the tray, also in
very nice condition. A nice find!

Large
Charcoal Iron with Figural Dolphin Handled Posts
This iron has a great form with dolphin heads and bodies that look like
mythical critters holding up the half-round handle grip. The iron
would benefit from a cleaning to really bring it to full display potential.

European
Charcoal Iron with Griffin Latch
The latch design on this European charcoal heated iron is great. The
handle support is cast in a very decorative shape, and by means of a hinge
or pivot point a figural griffin-like creature comes out of the front of the
handle support and grasps the latch on the base. On the inside of the
lid there is a five-pointed star with a 6 in the center and the word "Gyertyauliget"
or something similar. The iron appears to have a coat of newer black
paint on it.

European
Charcoal Heated Tailor-size Iron
This charcoal iron is an over-engineered marvel and
really beefy! Look at the work that went into making that 3-layered
contoured heat shield. And since nobody likes to get smoke in their
face when ironing, the chimney was made to swivel a full 180 degrees to
accommodate either left-brained or right-brained tailors.

"Imperial" Charcoal Iron
This is the first of these i have seen. That is one of the beauties of
collecting irons. The supply of different irons is
seemingly endless. Even after 10-20 years of looking at collections,
attending meetings or auctions, and searching the countryside new and
different ones pop up.
