We have inspected to ensure Quality Assurance—please refer to pictures: this items is sold “as-is” Additional Information: Manufacturer The unusual–though not unique–aspect of this iron is the extra width of the ironing surface. No doubt it was marketed as an iron that made the job of ironing more efficient than those regular irons with less real estate on the fabric. On October 2, 1940 Albert Maescher of St. Louis, Missouri filed for a design patent on this iron. Patent #126, 747 was granted on April 22, 1941. The timing of this patent is surprising: Its appearance is more like an iron conceived in the later 1920s than in the early 1940s. Regardless, this iron is not rare (nor common) but until now was always found in fair to poor condition, as if it has been repeatedly subjected to overheating. This must be due to poor engineering and/or cheap construction. This example dodged the decrepit state of its fellows: it was never used. Mr. Maescher–the owner of Crown Mfg. Co.–was later involved in a patent infringement suit having nothing to do with this iron. In the judge's ruling on that suit it is mentioned that Crown Manufacturing Co. was ".. dissolved by action of the stockholders on March 30, 1942." Given the lackluster quality of this iron and that it came onto the market just before WWII–when production of all domestic appliances ceased so that factories could produce material for the war–the short life of Crown Mfg. is not surprising.
