By the late 1800s increasing numbers of Australian working men had at least one good suit as a sign of respectability. Suits could be purchased ready-made, made to measure from a local tailor. The introduction of electric irons meant that the old flat irons and gas stove no longer had to be used. This electric iron would have been used to flatten seams during the tailoring process. This item is representative of a now rare craft that has diminished in the contemporary world.An electric tailor's iron. It has a green base and a black handle. The body of the iron has a flat back and curves to a point at its front. Its handle is metal and is attached with large screws at the top and back side of the base. The top of the handle is covered in black plastic that has finger grooves. there is a black iron resting stand.

This type of portable kerosene pressure stove was commonly used for camping, outdoor cooking, and military applications in the early 1900s to mid-century. It operates by pressurizing liquid fuel (such as kerosene or methylated spirits) using the pump, which is then vaporized and burned to produce a strong, hot blue flame. These stoves were popular with travellers, explorers, and rural households before the widespread availability of electric and gas stoves.This is an antique portable kerosene or spirit stove, likely from the early to mid-20th century. The stove consists of a circular metal fuel tank at the base, which is darkened and aged, possibly made of brass or iron. A raised burner assembly sits atop the fuel tank, enclosed by a metal wind shield, which appears to be stamped with a manufacturer's name or logo. The burner head is centrally positioned, with a control valve and a pressurizing pump extending from the tank’s side. The top of the stove features a circular cast-iron trivet or pot stand with multiple supports, allowing pots or kettles to rest above the flame. The trivet has a well-worn patina, with visible signs of heat exposure and rust. It may indicate a well-known brand such as Primus, Optimus, or another vintage stove manufacturer.cooking, gas, kitchen, household item
