G.M.C. Brand Charcoal Iron (Japan Type)

Key Specifications & Technical Features

• Body Material: Heavy-duty cast iron construction with a polished flat soleplate.

• Weight Range: Typically 1.9 kg to 2.3 kg (the weight provides the pressing force needed to smooth stubborn wrinkles without requiring manual downward pressure).

• Handle: Red-painted, heat-resistant wooden handle attached to a raised metal frame to shield the user’s hand from the iron’s hot body.

• Latch & Lock: Front-mounted swivel locking knob/latch that holds the top cover securely shut during use.

• Ventilation System: Side air ventilation holes (draft ports) near the base to supply oxygen and keep the internal charcoal burning evenly.
