BraBork electrical iron

Description

In issue number 44 of the 1938 electrical equipment catalogue of the Borkowski Brothers' company it is claimed that BraBork's electrical irons are “characterised by the highest quality electrical internals, ensuring complete safety, durability and reliability in use”. The device was equipped with a heating coil wound on iron-free nichrome, a foot made of polished pressed steel with a rounded rear bevel, and a removable support for putting the iron down. The top of the device is made of nickel-plated polished steel. Additionally, the iron has a thumb support at the front of the handle. BraBork offered different kinds of irons, including travel irons, tailoring irons, and irons for cleaners and cobblers. It also offered irons with special indentations to make it easier to iron around buttons. Manufacturer: Zakłady Elektrotechniczne Bracia Borkowscy Spółka Akcyjna, Warsaw, 1940s Inv.
