We had a mangle too! In our kitchen though! Shoved in a corner until we pushed it out to iron sheets (!) tablebloths, etc. Such a fun dive back in time!
My mother also had an ironing/presser contraption in the basement. Never knew the name. Not sure if my Mom ironed regular clothes with it (probably though), but it did yeoman’s work on the table cloths, napkins, sheets, etc. What memories!
One of the first things that mother gave me after Bill and I got married was my own Mangle. Both Bill an I had mangling mothers. Thank you ,sittle lister for this review of our brush with danger. I heart you

We should get together and swap Mangle stories.

Yes, lots of ironing in those days! 😊
Mother must have liked you better. I never got a mangle. 😂
