Vintage american beauty solder iron/lot 7 solder rolls
The solder iron is an "American Beauty Soldering Iron cat. no. 3138". Volts 110-120, watts 100. Manufactured by the American Electrical Heater Co., Detroit U. S. A. Overall length is 13 inches, the cord is about 5 feet long.
Grandpa died 26 years ago, I'm sure it is a lot older, but I have no idea how old. It does work, gets hot fast and did melt some of the solder with no problems.
The solder are 7 rolls of different brands: About 9 pounds total:
Three rolls of 50-50 Federated Metals wire at one pound each.
One roll in a can of 50-50 Neatpak at one pound.
Two boxes of Allweld 50-50 solid core wire at one pound each.
One roll of Federated wire solder 50-0 grade, about 3 pounds.
Just found a 1 pound can of Amco soldering flux that will be added to the acution. The can is at least as old as the solder and iron, has about 95% left in the can and appears to be still usable.
