The first irons, dating back to the early 19th century, were typically simple and heavy, made of cast iron or wrought iron. They featured a flat, smooth base for pressing clothes and were heated by placing them on a stove or using hot coals. Some designs included a reservoir for holding hot coals to maintain heat while in use. Overall, these early irons were quite rudimentary compared to modern electric models.
