It does look mighty stylishly serious sailing across the board like a regal sub conning tower at sea.

One of my favorite finds is the 1954 red Casco steam iron. I'd never seen one and love the engineering of the entire handle flipping up to fill the iron. You really have to let it cool down, though, to refill it. But as the advertisement claims it really does steam for 50 minutes and more.

Yup Charlie, the General Mills Tru-Heat - sponsored by Betty Crocker her own self - clicks frequently, with a clink, as the thermostat steadies the temperature.
