Clothes iron. Generation 2.1.

The iron was invented a long time ago. In the IV century BC in ancient Greece were invented the methods of pleating clothing made of canvas with the help of a hot metal rod resembling a rolling pin. For the smoothing of clothes in ancient times were used slightly processed heated cobblestones. In the XVIII-XIX centuries, irons were metal structures of a form close to modern. Irons were heated on gas or in an oven.

Metal pans filled with hot coals were used for smoothing fabrics in China in the 1st century BC.
