- Description
- A slim, folding travel iron (a) with detachable cord (b) extremely low, flat, steel, triangular shaped soleplate with two black plastic button rests at heel, metal plate screwed to top, "SOT Travel Iron/V 110/W 250/Taiwan". Black plastic, curved, spatulate handle is screwed through metal brace and extends out from there in a cantilever over the rest of the iron. Handle folds flat against iron simply by pushing gently to the left. Two round prongs stand up on right side at heel for electrical cord to attach cord, covered with black and white fabric, has black plastic, two bladed, outlet plug at one end (250 V, 10 A), and black plastic housing with wire spring around cord above, at other end. Housing is flat and long with two round holes at its end to attach over prongs on iron ("Litai/250V-10A").
