Streeter's Magic Fluting Iron   Similar to the one above but with a different style trivet.  The consumer could chose and buy what ever combination she wanted.   If you have a Streeter Sensible or Magic box iron, and not a fluter or the trivet, you need this to complete the set!

6" Crown Plaiter / Iron6" Crown Plaiter / Iron    This is the rare mini size Crown Plaiter.  The more typical version that is seen is 10".  Neither are common.  Plaiting was a thing done by people with too much time on their hands, or with enough money to hire somebody else to perform the task for them.  These devices were used to put plaits, or small folds, in fabric such as drapery tops, bed surrounds, or the bottom pieces on couches and chairs that keep dirt from getting under there and give the cat a place to hide.

My feeling is that if more people still plated and pleated the world would be a different place today.  Whether for the better or worse is open to debate.   I think the passing of this task was one of the primary reasons that the women's lib movement was able to catch on. They simply had to much spare time on their hands when they stopped doing chores like this so they started thinking about things like voting.

The overall condition is nice.  There are no cracks or breaks.   The counter weight and slugs you would heat are missing. The indexing pins are still there.

www.Patented-Antiques.com Antique Sad & Pressing Iron SalesRare 4 Piece Fluting Iron   This is a very rare fluting iron, and a very unusual design.  The bottom is a deep dish design that holds a slug.  The top flutter plate has a tab that fits into the base.  The handle looks like those that came with Dean or Streeter fluters, but the tabs on the end make it unique.  Very nice and complete!

www.Patented-Antiques.com Antique Sad & Pressing Iron SalesHandled Fluting Iron   Here is a different one.  This must have been designed for a specific purpose given the design.  The side is marked "Greenfield, Mass", which was a large manufacturing center in the mid to late 19th century.  It was sitting with the Fox, but does not seem "right" for that.   A mystery!
