Meeker's www.Patented-Antiques.com Antique Sad Iron SalesFeldmeyer Patent Liquid Fuel / Alcohol Iron in Travel Suitcase    This is a fantastic looking travel iron.  Similar to the one that was sold a few years ago with a boarding pass for the Titanic, or some other famous cruise ship.  I guess only the 1% could afford an iron like this.  The condition is excellent!

www.Patented-Antiques.com Antique Sad & Pressing Iron SalesPatented 1882 Fox Revolving Iron   This patented alcohol fueled revolving combination iron looks to be unfired.  The patent info on the front is from October 3rd 1882.  The number is 265401, and this is a close representation to the patent drawing, noting that the fuel tank is a bit different from the one shown.  Having just a single patent date would make this a first model, as there are other patents taken out for this iron by Mr. Fox.  This iron is described in the Berney book, but not pictured.  She found ads describing its features, including using it as a stove and heater in the sickroom.  It is unusual in that all four sides could be used or had a distinct purpose as well. 

There are apparently two later patents for minor improvements to the design.  I am not sure if there are examples of irons with those improvements out there.  This is a rare iron that we have only had one time before, and that one came in the Glissman collection.   The latch is good, and so are the hinges. There is one small ding in the tank.  The condition is otherwise near mint.   Very nice!
