I use an American Beauty iron. I don't have pix of mine, but there
are plenty on the web:

The trick with vintage irons is to get one that does not steam.
The steam will lead to oxidization. Use a spray bottle (and distilled water).

Last time I visited the Smithsonian, they had a red handle American
Beauty iron on display.
Awesome!

I bought this from Vermont Country Store and it is PERFECT for ironing starched clothing and delicate clothing. It does not leave any impressions because of the smooth sole. If your interested here's the link www.vermontcountrystore.com
