The old Rid-Jid ironing boards can range in age so there is no way to know which one is being asked after. Some folks will pay $20-25 for them, and (depending on condition and the "marked" for the item) it might get $70-80 from a motivated buyer.

Elijah McCoy invented the ironing board. Sarah Boone patented an improvement to the ironing board in 1887.

The value depends on location: I've seen them at antique stores for $30, I've found them abandoned on the curb. At garage sales, they run from $1 to $5. If I find them for cheap, I take them to my Home for Abandoned Ironing Boards: if they're expensive, I leave them.
An ironing board is typically made of metal which is a good conductor of electricity. This means that an ironing board allows electricity to flow through it easily, making it a conductor.

If properly cared for, a good ironing board should last a lifetime. I am 51 and my mom still has the same ironing board she had when I was a child. She has changed the cover many times but it's the same board.
