Coleman made their No 1 iron for a short period in the mid 1920's.
This model was not pressurized by a separate pump
but was gravity fed from the tank,

Jason Tyler bought this iron near his home in Australia.

The Coleman Model No. 2 iron was manufactured between 1925-1927.
Lighting this gravity fed model includes putting two tablespoons of denatured alcohol
