Inherited my dads beloved miniature iron collection he built over the past 50 years. I've actually not counted it but I know he used to say he had over 500 miniature irons. CBC Television in Ottawa came to the house once in the early 1980s and did a small story on him. These are photos 1 - 4.









Wonderful iron collection, very unique
Wow, quite the collection! Why did your dad likes these so much?
dav2no1 My mom and dad collected antiques together starting in the late 1960s right through to just a few years ago when my dad passed away. They collected anything and everything for the first few years and then reality/space settled in and they started to specialize in smaller items such as miniature irons, oil lamps, hatpins/holders and military toy vehicles. Every item documented and researched and written up in binders he kept. He was very passionate about his collections. Thanks!
Really cool collection!
