Irons and Blowtorches

Clothes irons have been around for many centuries. Flat irons made of a heavy piece of metal with a handle were popular a hundred years ago. Derivatives were box irons which held charcoal pieces to keep the iron warm. These gave way to liquid fuelled irons which lasted until electricity came along.
​
Blowtorches, known as blowlamps in the UK and Australia, were similar to early stoves but often with a nozzle pointing forwards or even vertically to heat items like furnaces and soldering irons.
