DESCRIPTION:
Vintage 1954 Fostoria Tru-Heat Iron Model 1BB Steam Iron by General Mills. This is a thermostat iron with bakelite handle and chromed steel cowl. The facilities and people General Mills had from War production were put to work producing home appliances after World War II, a new venture for this breakfast cereal company. Designed by John Polivka and Francesco Collura, a great deal of effort went into product research, and the iron was a sales sensation. A steam attachment, first with a stainless steel (model 4A) and then a black plastic (model 4B) tank, was made to slip on the sole plate of the iron. Introduced in 1946 as model 1A, it then became 1B and then 1BB. By 1954 the appliance division was sold to McGraw Electric and re-labeled Fostoria. Perhaps the most distinctive form and profile of the era: it uses elements of Deco, and industrial design.PAYMENTS:
