Please date my irons

I have the same blue-corded GE iron. I can't remember exactly when I bought it, but it was probably in the late '70's or early 80's, before GE sold off its small appliance division to Black and Decker. Black and Decker continued the exact same design for quite a while, as well. It's a good, solid design. Nothing too fancy, but it works just fine.

Also have a much earlier Toastmaster steam iron, with original cloth cord in excellent condition, model 4B2. Have never used it. The sole plate needs cleaning and polishing, and it may also need descaling.

Neither iron has a polarized plug, if that means anything.

Today I use a Rowenta Pro, works great, although I don't think I've ironed anything in a year. My cotton summer shirts need it!

Did a little search on ebay the other day and the GE's are a dime a dozen. I even saw the B&D's that are the same iron. I was surprized that I couldn't find a Presto, not even in the completed's.

Too bad I passed up that cool Westinghouse steam iron a few weeks ago. Would've been a nice one to have.
