American

Antique Gas / Fuel Pressing Irons

Enameled & Granite Finish

      

Black Coleman Model 609 Instant-Lite Fuel Iron   There is something really appealing about these Coleman enamel irons.  Maybe it's all the different colors they came in.  This black Model 609 looks good.  It has been cleaned / polished and there is some evidence of past corrosion on one small area of the chrome plated top, but overall it displays well.            

Very Good ..... $35.00     ML-GI-A-3

Blue and Black Porcelain Radiation Rhythm Gas Iron  This style English natural gas iron comes in several colors, including green and this harder-to-find blue and white speckled color with black.  I'm not sure what the significance of the name is but the iron itself is a real eye-catcher.  The porcelain is in great shape and it displays really well.   A tough iron to find here in the states.         

Excellent ..... $75.00       LCM-GI-I-1

American Machine Co Model  6664 Black Granite Gas Iron  This one is a bit different from the norm.  It has a couple of minor chips but is otherwise very nice looking.   Comes with the trivet funnel and wrench.  Nice!    Click for Pic      Click for Pic      Click for Pic

Graniteware Finish Fuel Tank Iron  American graniteware finish irons are not common.  The iron was offered by Sears probably right up till the introduction of electricity to the more rural areas of the US, and that could have been as late as the 40's or even 50's in some parts of the country.  The Amish in PA and elsewhere are still buying this style of iron and using them even today.    

The condition of this iron is near mint, and I think the collector may have had the box, and tossed it as there is little or no signs of use.  Ready to go.    Click for Pic
