Helpful Posts: I just had to stop and take a picture of this rather ancient looking flat iron that is powered by charcoal that I spotted wandering through the back alleys of Delhi. It looks like it is almost ready to use; one can see the red glow of the coals that are heating it up.
Up until I spotted this, any similar irons I saw were in museum collections...

Nicely captured, well presented and no instructions needed; perhaps a few safety warnings.

If it works, don't mend it. Fascinating.

Nice shot
It is suprising to see that they still use those irons.
