    Couldn't resist this 1945 electric cordless sad iron. The best of both worlds. Edit - Should have done, could have gotten it much cheaper if I'd looked around a bit... "Faint hat never won fair lady"

    Very nice! Love your collection. It is great to see these tools. I am working on a plan for a prototype brass foot tolliker that I hope to finish in the next few days. Stay posted. In the meantime, do you heat the brass tollikers before using? I wouldn't think so, but it comes to mind.

    You are probably right. There were irons for making flowers & leaves in the same set of auctions, so it is clear that this particular hatter made women's hats. To be clear, none of the items in these last posts were mine - all were part of eBay auctions I should have participated in, but sat...

    It is indeed. I assumed it would go for much more or would have bid. Them's the beans. If anyone needs these (I do, but cannot afford them yet) JW sells a set of three for $300. He also has rounding jacks, incidentally. I think his curling shackles are posted early in this thread, but here...

    There were two other irons, but pretty much the same as the Mahoney, so I did not cut & paste here. There were also, however, some sad irons and a couple of toy irons included in the items for sale by the same seller: Toys:
