Oh heck yes! in boarding school this was the type of pressing iron we used to iron our clothes. This certainly brings back memories. I wonder if they still sell them?

Yep, gaving that was one of the proofs of being a Fineboy in in school(boarding)

Yes oooooo, use it last when I was in secondary school, it was nice making use of it then but use to burn my white uniform then.lol

lol... U guys need to come to the interior part of Ikorodu,Lagos State to see a very large population of pple stil usin ds iron due to PHCN issues...Dere is even anoda model dt u can use on d stove...They call dat 'stove iron'

That one is even a brown new one. The one we hve @ home is older dan me. Guy forget o, me self come become expert to use am. I rem every morni using it to iron my uniform even if d church clothes na white, e get how dem do am. When i even enter my town last year i use am when nepa Bleep up. No level . Unto d next d one.

Used it in Boarding house and still very much in use by mallam drycleaners in my area.

It can't be tuned up or down. Hot when the coals are hot and looses it heat when the coals are getting cold. But was really a good saviour in those days. OP, nice one.



Frawzey.

Acidosis: Yeah. . Used it in boarding house, when boyz dey form baggy tinz

Na so!

I used it but it's no big deal nah. People are still using it today.

I could remember the day i used it on a wet secondary school uniform....the ash from the holes wan finish my only cream colour white shirt......good old days sha....

Chidex2442: dat was wat destroyed most of my clothes in my secondary school day

Maybe u no sabi use am.....ajebo like u!

This is is the first technology we grew to see and it is still be used today by most tailors in Lagos and the east.

Remember it?

Only too much!!!

It gave me a black triangle on my left
forearm back in the early '80s...

Burned my favourite white shirt to boot!

Mehhhhn!

prinxard: 'cockk head' thats what it's called

And i learnt that, that cock on the iron is worth a fortune. Just like the pendulom of my grandfather's clock & the pick up head of a german gramaphone. * funny nigerians with their get rich quick mentality*

I've heard a lot bout it but never used one myself.

I'm still using it

Yes, and i still use it cos phcn fails when i need electricity most. I have now 'upgraded' to d stove type.

yeeeeeeeessssssssss,lmao

will never forget what dis type of iron did 2me,,,, one sunday morning all ma cloths were dirty the only clean one left waz burn by dis type of iron had 2miss church dat day, from then i dont even want to c dis type of iron....

Still in use in some part of the country especially northern part.

Dt iron was one of d items u mst av as a boarding house student. And we stil av 1 in my house.

It detroyed my school uniform in JSS1.

I still use it till date. Whenever nepa combine with my generating set to do thier shakara, I switch to old school. Had it since 1987. It 'll never die.

yup i used it wella. Except u re born in the late 90's i believe coal iron will not be alien you. Just like white sand (garri) it was also student companion.

Just remembered the old days, I still have that iron in my village.

I used it to cook noodles back in secondary school...............mehn!!!! those were the days

I bought one ( charcoal iron) some months ago,I replaced it with a generator iron a week after.

abdul izom: IT HAS COST SO MANY TOILORS, LOT OF TROUBLE.
