The last one is for making pleats in fabric. We had a similar item growing up as a doorstop. It didn't roll like that but it was semicircular and just rocked back and forth in the "gears".

Had to laugh about the tomato slicer. We used them in fast food restaurants to quickly and uniformly slice the tomato. Just watch where your fingers are!

That's how you put pleats in cloth, a pleating iron.

Last item is a fabric crimper or fluting iron which created a ruffling in cloth. Circa 1880s

As a Church choirboy back in the '60's, we wore a starched white ruff around the neck with a cassock and surplice. The Iron was heated to put the crimping in the ruffs. The Elizabethan Gentlemen in Britain wore large ruffs as a fashion statement ( see Blackadder series)

You look like a bird that's swallowed a plate.

My mom had one of those ruffle irons exactly like that. 😊

Last item is perhaps a ruffle iron.

I agree that what it is.

@oopswrongplanet4964 9 ай бұрын

Yes, a.k.a. roller fluting iron

Agree. For crimping ribbons.

It is a ruffle iron for crimping collars and cuffs on clothing.

I think they were called governing irons, for putting complicated pleats in material. Probably Victorian, but they must have had something similar in Tudor times to deal with those ruffs.

It looks like a material crimper. It was probably used to crimp those old collars that you see in paintings.

It's an antique crimping iron to iron pleats into fabric.

Tomato slicer works great for canned spam. End item is an iron for making small pleats for ruffles. Used hot. When used cold it corrugates paper.

@@sandybruce9092 I use mine to cut whole olives into rings, works great, but I have to push them through carefully by hand. When my brother brought it home from the second hand store he didn't know what it was, I said tomato slicer.

The last object is called a gofering iron and is, as others have said, for imparting creases into a collar or other item of clothing.

@patriciagerresheim2500 9 ай бұрын

I remember those candle huggers. Never had any, though. i recognized the cow's-foot inkwell thanks to 'Antiques Road Trip'. Victorians made stuff out of the weirdest things!

The ridged iron plate and roller look like a specialty iron to pleat fabric. Historically, collars and cuffs for women's dresses would be removed for cleaning, pressed, and sewn back on...by a ladies' maid, if she had one -- but also by maids on their days off or women who worked in shops.

The last object is called a "Mangle" and it is for ironing ruffled sleeves and collars on clothing. The base was heated on a stove, and dampened or starched collars were placed on the hot base and ironed with the hand piece, which was also heated on the stove.
