The use of charcoal enables the ‘Iron Man – Dhobi’ (as they are referred to locally) not to rely on electricity which is not guaranteed during business hours due to frequent ‘power cuts’. Made up of premium quality brass and well-finished wood for the handle. Good for ironing purposes using coal. This is an old model design brass iron box. This iron is also the only option for mobile units that provide door-to-door cloth ironing/laundry service. The body and ironing surface of this new iron box have a wooden handle. Smooth base without scratches and pin holes. Heat holds better than a normal electric iron box. Save electricity.
If you make the base of your iron into a container you can put glowing coals inside it and keep it hot a bit longer. This is a charcoal iron, and the one being used in India, where it’s not unusual to have your ironing done by a “press wallah” at a stall with a brazier nearby. Notice the hinged lid and the air holes to allow the charcoal to keep smoldering. These are sometimes called ironing boxes, or charcoal box irons, and may come with their stand. It was easier to keep the ironing surface spotlessly clean, away from the fuel than with flat irons or charcoal irons.
