"Cordless Iron"

How many of you remember using this "cordless" iron?  Irons like these are made from solid cast iron and are heated on a wood stove to warm them up.  If the user wanted to see if the iron was hot enough to iron clothes, they would lick their finger and touch the heated iron quickly.  If the saliva evaporated, then the iron was hot enough.  Washing clothes and hanging them on the clothesline caused the clothes to wrinkle as they dried so a whole day had to be dedicated to ironing shirts, dresses, handkerchiefs, and sheets.
