Club History: The Pressing Iron and Trivet Collectors of America was founded July 22, 1984 at Owatonna, Minnesota as The Midwest Sad Iron Collectors Club - MSICC, with 24 family names from Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Founded to further the many aspects of the collecting of pressing irons and to encourage fellowship among pressing iron collectors, the Club membership directory now lists over 300 family names. Though the Clubs’ roots are in the mid-west, we have members in 40 states, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and The Netherlands.

Membership: Whether you have a collection of 9, 90 or 900 irons, you too, can share in the fellowship when club members meet at the annual convention to exchange information about their common hobby as well as buy, sell and trade irons, trivets and other laundry related items.

Newsletter: A great membership benefit is the Club’s quarterly newsletter, "PRESSING NEWS" serves as an information exchange about pressing irons. In addition, many laundry related articles, books and pamphlets may be borrowed by stateside members from the Club’s Lending Library.

Reference Library: Another great membership benefit is the Club’s extensive Reference Library. Lonnie Sinclair has served as our Librarian for many years and offers all of the publications in the library on a lending basis (domestic only) to members only. Members cover the shipping costs both ways.

THE GREATEST BENEFIT: The Greatest Benefit of being a member of the The Pressing Iron and Trivet Collectors of America, as so wonderfully stated by Leo Smith, is the opportunity to meet many of the wonderful people who share your love of antique irons. It is a great group indeed!
